Elevate sweet potato mash with white wine-poached ripe pears for a burst of freshness.
Ingredients:
  • 2 pears, peeled and sliced
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
  • In a small saucepan, combine pears, wine, and water and bring to a high boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until pears are tender, about 5-10 minutes. Remove pears from wine and set aside.
  • In a large pot, immerse the sweet potatoes in water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, around 20 minutes. Drain and let the potatoes steam dry for a minute or two.
  • Combine the reserved pears, evaporated milk, vanilla, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg with the sweet potatoes. Mash until smooth, then transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.
