Cooking Tip

Storing Sweet Potatoes

Ideally, sweet potatoes should be stored at 50 F., in a cool, dry spot. Sweet potatoes will keep in ideal conditions for up to a month.

Cooking Tip

Butter and Dark Corn Syrup

Do not substitute margarine for butter or light corn syrup for the dark corn syrup. The results and flavors suffer too greatly.
