Sweet Potato Surprise Ingredients

4 lb Sweet potatoes	1/2 ts Allspice
4 Bananas chopped	1 ts Salt
2 lg Green apples or ripe pears	1 1/2 c Apple juice
2 tb Butter	1/2 c Fresh lemon or lime juice
2 tb Minced fresh ginger	1/2 c Chopped dried apricots
1/2 ts Cinnamon	2 c Chopped nuts, optional

Instructions for Sweet Potato Surprise

Peel the sweet potatoes and boil until soft. Drain. Meanwhile, saute apples and bananas in butter with ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Cook slowly, covered, but stirring intermittently for 10 to 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350#161#F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish or deep casserole. Puree the potatoes with the fruit juices in a food processor. Stir the sauteed fruit into the puree. (For a smoother texture you can puree the fruit first before adding it to the sweet potatoes.) Add the apricots. Heap into the prepared baking baking pan and, if desired, top with chopped nuts. (If it looks like the pan is getting too full, butter a pie pan and bake the extra in there.) Bake uncovered at 350#161#F for 45 minutes. This can be assembled a day ahead and stored unbaked and tightly covered in the refrigerator. REG shared by Kelly T. McNamara, Cleveland, OH, USA. Notes: Pureed sweet potatoes are combined with fresh ginger and sweet spices, plus several surprises. The effect is delicious but subtle, and your guests will have trouble identifying all the ingredients. Serving Ideas: Serve as part of a Vegetarian Thanksgiving menu.
