Minatamis Na Kamote (Sweet Potato in Sugar Syrup)
Ingredients:
- 1 large kamote (sweet potato), peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup Demerara sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Method of preparation
- Using a medium size lidded sauce pan, heat up the water.
- Stir in the sugar.
- Add the sweet potato slices together with the vanilla essence and pinch of salt.
- Give it a good stir.
- Cover the pan and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the sweet potato slices are tender but still firm enough to hold their shape.
Leave to cool down a little bit before serving. A dash of milk (preferably evaporated) can also be added along with crushed ice, making it sweet potato con hielo, perfect for warm weather or when the radiator is working a little bit too hard. 🙂
