JAMAICAN SWEET POTATO PONE

This is from a cookbook called "Food of Jamaica." This cookbook is sold in Jamaica to Jamaicans. It is different from the other sweet potato pone recipes I found here and I like this profile. It's intro - Jamaicans never tire of anything made with sweet potato. This particuar pone, similar to those found in the American South, was inspired by the rich culinary heritage of Africa.

This recipe is my great-grandmother's - she passed it down to my grandmother who passed it down to me. It's similar to pie but made in a casserole dish.

Cooking spray
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 3 tablespoons juice (from about 1/2 orange)
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and finely grated (about 3 medium potatoes; 6 cups grated)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Lightly spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and molasses in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs, half-and-half and vanilla until smooth. Whisk in the salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, orange zest and orange juice. Fold in the sweet potatoes. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, then smooth the top and cover with foil.
  • Bake until the center is set and the potatoes are soft, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until caramelized on top, another 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • To make the whipped cream topping: beat 1 cup heavy cream and 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a chilled bowl with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.

JAMAICAN SWEET POTATO PUDDING

Taken from the Enid Donaldson cookbook. Hell a top, Hell a bottom Hallelujah in the middle! This is a Jamaican riddle and most people know that the answer is a delicious sweet potato pudding, baked in an iron dutch pot or dutch oven with live coals in the bottom of the coal stove and also on the top of the dutch pot. The pudding cooks at the top and at the bottom at the same time. The delicious hallelujah is best liked when the top, called a 'sof pon top', is softer than the rest of the pudding.
