ROASTED-APPLE-AND-SWEET-POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Place the whole apples on the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes. Roast until potatoes and apples are soft, about 25 minutes.
• Skin the sweet potatoes. Pass the apples and the sweet potatoes through a food mill into a medium-size bowl. Stir in the cardamom and add salt and pepper to taste. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE PURéE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Scrub sweet potatoes and pierce in several places with a sharp knife. Pierce the apples in a few places. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the potatoes and apples on top. Bake for 40 minutes and remove the apples. Continue to bake the sweet potatoes until thoroughly soft and beginning to ooze, 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until cool enough to handle.
• Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Remove the skins from the potatoes. Peel and core the apples, scraping all the flesh from just inside the skins. Chop the potatoes and apples coarsely and place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and blend well. Transfer to a lightly buttered 2- or 3-quart baking dish.
• Heat the puree in the 350-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until steaming. Serve hot.

• In a food processor or food mill, puree the apples with the potatoes, adding the remaining orange juice, the lemon juice and the cinnamon.

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE PURéE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan boil the sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, in water to cover for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are very tender. While the sweet potatoes are boiling, in a large skillet cook the onion and the apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin, with salt and pepper to taste in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the apples are very tender. Drain the sweet potatoes well, in a food processor purée them with the apple mixture until the mixture is smooth, and with the motor running add the crème fraîche, the nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste, and enough hot water to thin the puré to the desired consistency.

SWEET POTATO, PUMPKIN AND APPLE PUREE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub sweet potatoes, and pierce in several places with a sharp knife. Pierce the apples in a few places. Line a baking sheet with foil, lightly oil the foil, and place the potatoes, pumpkin (cut side down) and apples on top. Bake the pumpkin and apples for 30 to 40 minutes, until a knife can easily be inserted right to the core of the apples (it's fine if the skin pops off the apples, or if they collapse) and the pumpkin is soft. Remove the pumpkin and apples from the oven. Continue to bake the sweet potatoes until thoroughly soft and beginning to ooze, 15 minutes or longer, depending on the size. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool until you can handle them easily.
• Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Remove the skins from the potatoes and pumpkin. Peel and core the apples, and scrape off any apple flesh that adheres to the skin. Chop everything coarsely, and place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, and blend well. Transfer to a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish.
• Heat the puree in the 350-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until steaming. Serve hot.
