This wacky recipe was in my grandmother's recipe file. I'll have to try it sometime when I feel like doing something different with my Spam... Ingredients:
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1/3 cup water |
1/2 cup raisins |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
1 dash worcestershire sauce |
1 pinch salt |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 cup grape jelly |
1/4 teaspoon clove |
1/4 cup milk, warmed |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 (12 ounce) can spam |
12 miniature marshmallows |
Directions:
1. Boil sweet potatoes for 30 minutes or until cooked; drain.
2. Meanwhile, make raisin sauce. Mix brown sugar, water, raisins, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, 1 tbsp butter, jelly, and cloves in a saucepan. Boil for 7 minutes.
3. Mash sweet potatoes with milk and 1 tbsp butter. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Score top of Spam loaf in diamond pattern. Place in a shallow baking dish and spoon the sweet potatoes around it.
5. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, basting loaf several times with raisin sauce.
6. In the last five minutes of cooking, arrange marshmallows on sweet potatoes and allow to brown.
