One of the best things about farming is meeting wonderful people like Jill and her husband Hal. I'm sure you remember Jills Jam?
Jill is a wealth of gardening information (hint hint) and one of her older blog posts {here} will tell you all about how to grow sweet potatoes . . . so that . . .you can make this (below) Sweet Potato Casserole in time for the autumn holidays! Our farm will definitely be growing a ton of sweet potatoes this year. Did you know how that they're very high in calcium?
Ingredients:
5 medium size sweet potatoes. boil and mash - should be around 3 cups. Mix with the mashed sweet potatoes:
2 eggs beaten
1/2 c - 3/4 c sugar
1/2 stick of melted butter
1/2 t. nutmeg and cinnamon
1 c milk (we use whole/organic milk)
mix this together - well.
place in a buttered 9x12 inch pan and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
the topping:
3/4 crushed cornflakes
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c brown sugar and 1/2 stick of melted butter Mix this and spread over the top of the baked casserole. then bake for 8 - 10 minutes
AND THEN.......smile and enjoy!
