  • ½ litre jar of home canned sweet potato (1 US pint / 500 ml / 16 oz jar)
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions
  1. Drain sweet potato; put in bowl of food processor.
  2. Prep the onion; set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion, lower the heat and let cook slowly for about 20 minutes or until the onion is very soft and translucent. Add minced garlic in final 5 minutes of cooking.
  4. Add the onion mixture to the food processor, along with the yoghurt, the lemon juice and chili powder process until smooth.

  6. Chill until you are ready to serve it. Will keep in fridge in covered container for up to 5 days.

Optional: put a few drops of hot sauce in it, or, sprinkle a few drops of hot sauce on it when serving.

Serve with crackers, naan, and / or cut up fresh vegetables such as celery, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms etc.

You can use regular no-fat yoghurt, but it might taste "thin" without the mouthfeel that Greek yoghurt can give. You could also try a low-fat ricotta, or cottage cheese.

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

“The importance of a well-planned canning program cannot be emphasized too strongly. Survey after survey has shown us that home canning as part of a wise home-production program can make the difference between diets that are poor — and diets that are good, nutritionally. Home-produced, home-canned food helps provide better diets with fewer food dollars.”

— Dr Louise Stanley, USDA Radio Homemakers Chat. 22 August 1941.
