Ingredients
- 1½ lb Cuban white sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into lg Chunks
- 2 cup water
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- peel of 1 lime, white pith removed

- In a large saucepan over medium heat, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and puree them in a blender or food processor fitted with a steel blade.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the water, sugar, cinnamon, and lime peel, stirring constantly, until the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (250 °F degrees), on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, carefully remove the cinnamon and lime peel, add the pureed potatoes, and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until the paste is thoroughly blended.
