Sweet Potato Heaven


I have a question for you and if you’re a true southerner you’ll know the answer. Why are baked sweet potatoes always sitting on a pie plate on top of a southern stove – morning, noon and night?
I’m smiling because I can see it right now. Anytime I walked into my grandma’s house, there were baked sweet potatoes on the stovetop. It could be seven a.m. and you’d think they were having sweet potatoes for breakfast. Truth is, not even some of us southerners understand that one. It’s just a memory so many of us share. Maybe it had something to do with the Depression? Anyone have any idea? Let me know. That’s one crazy image I’ve got to understand.
Anyway, here is a delicious sweet potato recipe that I accidentally discovered the other day. Its so easy and delicious!! You'll be in sweet potato heaven.
Ingredients:
-1 baked sweet potato
-1 jar Lauri Jo's Pinapple Jam
Directions:
Slice baked sweet potato in half lengthwise. Scoop two tablespoons of jam into the potato and enjoy.
