My husband and I dug up the sweet potatoes this afternoon. With the overall dismal results from this year's garden, I was very surprised at what a good harvest we got - and very grateful! Here they all are in our wheelbarrow.
Look at this one!
I can't help but wonder just how that happened!
When you harvest sweet potatoes, you need to let them "cure" for at least a month. If you eat them right away, they are rather bland.
After we did all this and got them into the house, I cooked one of the two that I had left from last year and made a sweet potato pie! We'll have that for lunch tomorrow. I make my crust with whole wheat pastry flour, NON -hydrogenated lard, salt and milk. The pie filling is sweetened with just 1/2 cup of honey. It makes a very nice, wholesome pie.
Sweet potatoes don't like being cold. I just store them in baskets in my kitchen, and they last for a long long time.
Forgive me, I had written "hydrogenated lard" yesterday. I've corrected that now! Yikes!!!
Nice blog granny
