Honey

Boil 6 sweet potatoes and cut each lengthwise in 2 or 3 slices. Pour about 1/2 cup honey into a pan until the bottom is covered about 1/4 inch deep. Let this become very hot, put in the sweet potatoes, and cook about 10 minutes.

The grape sugar in the honey combined with the dextrin in the sweet potato gives a delicious nutlike flavor to potatoes cooked in this manner. The honey must be hot when the sweet potatoes are put in, as too long cooking destroys the flavor. Serve with butter and salt.
