Sweet Potato Butter

By devogirl

"This smooth creamy spread has a great combination of sweet potatoes and apples. It's a sweet and satisfying topping for a variety of breads. --Barbara Hoard, Mathis, Texas"

I doubled this receipe and canned in 8 oz jelly jars. It made 14 8oz jars. I also simmered in a crock pot (slow cooker) for 6 hours on low.
Very good gift food for teachers and such.

Step 1

In a heavy saucepan, combine all ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 to 2-1/4 hours or until mixture is thickened and about 1 cup of liquid remains, stirring occasionally.

In a blender, process mixture in batches until smooth. Transfer to jars or containers. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator.
