  1. Adapted recipe for Thanksgiving Day as ran of out times to bike the yams. Jill had bought bagged/cut organic sweet potatoes from Trader Joes's . Used (2) 16oz bags. Boiled, drained, mashed with back of spoon, then used mixer to puree. Melted 3T butter and a little less than a 1/4 c of organic heavy cream. Added to puree with the sugar and mixed through Very yummy!! Definitely do it for 2011.
