Ingredients<\/h3>\n
\n
3<\/span> <\/span> large yams or sweet potatoes, baked<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> tsp<\/span> pure vanilla extract<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> tbsp<\/span> brown sugar<\/span><\/div>\n
½<\/span> tsp<\/span> ground cinnamon<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> tsp<\/span> ground ginger<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> tsp<\/span> ground nutmeg<\/span><\/div>\n
¼<\/span> tsp<\/span> salt<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> pinch<\/span> ground allspice<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> pinch<\/span> ground cloves<\/span><\/div>\n
1<\/span> cup<\/span> pecans, coarsely chopped and toasted<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n

Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven at 375\u00b0F until they\u2019re fork tender, about an hour. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

While they\u2019re baking, chop and toast the pecans, then set aside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

When the sweet potatoes are done, peel them, being careful not to burn your fingers, and drop them into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, adding soy milk as needed to facilitate blending.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes with the remaining ingredients (vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, allspice, and cloves). Mix to combine the ingredients evenly and chill in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Serve cold, and just before serving, add the toasted pecans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4608,"featured_media":21004,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[2707],"yst_prominent_words":[1634],"class_list":["post-20670","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cp_recipe_category-sides","cp_recipe_cuisine-american","cp_recipe_cooking_method-baking","cp_recipe_tags-gluten-free","cp_recipe_tags-soy-free"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/20670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4608"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20670"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category?post=20670"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifeandhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=20670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
