Ingredients

  • Sliced pears from two pieces, their skin gently removed
  • A half cup of crisp dry white wine
  • A quarter cup of pure water
  • Sweet potatoes, three in number, peeled and neatly cubed
  • One cup of creamy evaporated milk
  • A hint of vanilla extract, just a quarter teaspoon
  • Brown sugar, a quarter cup of sweetness
  • Butter, two tablespoons of richness
  • Ground cinnamon, half a teaspoon of warm spice
  • Ground nutmeg, also half a teaspoon of aromatic flavor

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the pears with a splash of wine and water, allowing them to mingle and dance over high heat until a lively boil is achieved. Lower the temperature to a gentle medium and let them simmer gracefully until the pears are tender, a process that may take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Once the pears are soft and infused with the flavors, delicately remove them from their wine bath, setting them aside for a moment of rest.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a sizable pot, immerse the sweet potatoes in a generous amount of water, creating a soothing environment for them to cook. Bring the water to a vigorous boil on high heat, then reduce the intensity to a tranquil medium-low, covering the pot to let the sweet potatoes simmer until they reach a state of tenderness, which typically takes around 20 minutes. Once they are cooked to perfection, drain the water and allow the sweet potatoes a moment to breathe, letting them steam dry for a brief period.

Step 3

Gently incorporate the reserved pears, creamy evaporated milk, fragrant vanilla, rich brown sugar, velvety butter, warming cinnamon, and aromatic nutmeg into the tender sweet potatoes, blending them together until a harmonious smoothness is achieved. Transfer this luscious mixture to a lovely serving dish, presenting it hot and inviting to be savored.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark place like a pantry to prevent sprouting and maintain freshness.
  2. 2. Store ripe pears in the refrigerator to maintain their juicy texture and flavor.
  3. 3. When storing already prepared mash, transfer it to an airtight container to keep it from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
