Answer 5

My grandmother made them for years and never really used a professional recipe! She used pre boiled sweet potatoes cut into chunks, salt, brown sugar, butter, a small amount of water, and a tiny bit of lemon juice to wake them up! We still use the family recipe she developed many years ago and never have any left overs! She also developed a baked bean recipe that puts anything I've ever had else where to shame! Unbelievable flavors!!! Sorry, but can't give you that one!
