How to Make Sweet Potato Jam
- Peel and cube 2 pounds of sweet potatoes.
- In a large saucepan, combine the cubed sweet potatoes, 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are very tender.
- Remove from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal tightly.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for proper sealing and longer shelf life; optional).
- Allow the jars to cool completely. Check the seals by pressing down on the center of the lid. If the lid doesn't flex, the jar is sealed. Refrigerate any unprocessed jars immediately.
- Once cool, store in the refrigerator and enjoy within 4-5 days after opening.
