SWEET POTATO AND PINEAPPLE SPOON BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a pot or kettle of water to a boil.
• Bake sweet potatoes in skin until fork tender about 40 minuets and let cool to touch.
• Remove skin and place sweet potato in a large mixing bowl mash till softened.
• Add drained pineapples, stir together.
• Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, molasses and ginger to the and bowl stir.
• I taste at this point to determine how much sugar to add, usually no more than 1/2 a cup and stir.
• Again I would taste to determine if the flavors are what I wish, since raw eggs are added in the next set, this is where I do my final tweeking or tasting.
• Then in a separate bowl combine the corn muffin mix, eggs, milk, sour cream until just blended.
• Add the muffin mixture to the sweet potato mixture and stir until combined, the texture should be closer to pancake mix than to muffin mix.
• Using two equal size baking dishes fill one with the boiling water and place in the oven on the lower shelf leaving space on the upper shelf for the spoon bread.
• Fill the second with the combined mixture place on top shelf in over.
• cook for about 45 minutes to an hour depending on oven size and container used to cook it.
• The spoon bread is complete when a tooth pick or knife inserted in the middle comes out not wet, because it is a very moist mixture you do not want a clean knife as you would with a cake, it should not be moving in the middle indicating it is still not fully cooked, if it moving in the middle and still wet when checked I would add 15 minutes to cooking time and check again.
• When it is out cover with foil to keep the moisture for about fifteen minutes
• Then it is all set to eat or can be kept and reheated great for plan ahead meals.

• In a large bowl, stir together mashed potatoes, cornmeal mixture, egg yolks, sugar, molasses, ginger, and salt. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir in half of egg whites into cornmeal mixture. Very gently fold in remaining egg whites.

SWEET POTATO SPOON BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease a 2-quart souffle or casserole dish with about 1 tablespoon of the butter; set aside. 2. Wrap potatoes in foil. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until soft to the touch. Remove from oven; discard foil. When cool enough to handle, remove and discard peels. In a large bowl, mash potatoes. 3. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. In a large saucepan, bring milk, thyme, brown sugar, salt, and pepper to a low boil over medium heat. In a slow, steady stream, whisk cornmeal into milk mixture. Cook, whisking constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes, until mixture is thick and pulls away from bottom of pan. (this didn't take me that long,maybe 3 minutes) Remove from heat; cool slightly. Add potatoes, egg yolks, remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and baking powder to cornmeal mixture; stir to thoroughly combine. 4. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Leaving obvious swirls of egg white, gently fold egg whites into the potato-cornmeal mixture. 5. Spoon batter into prepared dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Edges will be firm and the center a bit soft. Remove from oven. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
