FRUITY SWEET POTATO YEAST BREAD
I love to bake yeast bread. I got the idea for this recipe from a TOH magazine, then added fruit and ingredients that I knew would help it to raise and keep it moist. I think you will like it. You may of course omit the fruit and also use all honey if you can't find the malt syrup, but it helps whole grain bread raise. This also makes excellent rolls or mini loaves.

FRUITY SWEET POTATOES
I have a favorite way to make sweet potatoes. They are the type swimming in a concoction of butter, brown sugar and marshmallows until the syrup is thick and sticky. Loaded with fat and calories, they are reserved for the holidays (when we tend to throw caution to the wind regarding our waistlines!). I found this recipe in a Slow Cooker cookbook and decided to give it a try. These are rich and sweet, with far less fat and sugar than I would normally add which equates to being able to eat more of them. :-) They smell and taste SO good! NOTE: I used my smaller 4 quart cooker

- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until potatoes are tender. (see note!)
