From Denny: This is a sweet appetizer to enjoy for the holiday season while the turkey is roasting. Because it is sweet potato it will hold over those rumbling stomachs waiting for the feast.
This appetizer is so simple as it is a sweetened whipping cream and sweet potato mixture topped off with bourbon soaked raisins rolled in spices like cinnamon and ginger with a bit of brown sugar.
With the cracker of your choice (make sure it is strong enough to hold this mixture as sweet potatoes are heavy) just spread with the back of a spoon - or pipe like icing - some of the sweet potato mixture onto the cracker. Then place the bourbon soaked and spice-sugar rolled raisins on top all in a row. Simple, easy and serve immediately!
Nutrition facts follow after recipe. Good news: very low in sodium per serving.
Just LOVE is the shortest best message!
