Dulce de Batata--Sweet Potato Paste
5 cups pureed sweet potato (either homemade or canned)
2 cups water
1/4 cup agar agar (a thickening agent, available at Whole Foods)
4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Put the sweet potato puree in a non-reactive pot with the water, and heat over medium high heat, stirring and scraping the bottom to evenly distribute the heat and prevent burning. When the mixture raises to a boil, add in the sugar and the agar agar, stirring until totally incorporated and dissolved. Lower heat and keep at a simmer. Simmer until the water has absorbed, and the mixture has thickened, stirring frequently, about an hour or so.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Spread the mixture into a large rectangular casserole dish (lasagne pan or Pyrex pan) and let cool completely. After cooling at room temperature, remove to the refrigerator. Slice to serve.
