Muscavado Sweet Potatoe Delight

I am going to take a moment to say one thing that drives me crazy:

Sweet potatoes are a side dish NOT a desert!

Why do people put marshmallows and boat loads of white sugar in sweet potatoes makeing them as sweet as if not more sweet than the pumkin pie they dine on for dessert?

Its like telling your kids, finnish your dessert so you can have dessert!

WHY?! Not only is it unhealthy, but it taste horrid and gives your child the wrong idea of whats healthy for them.
Hmmmmm marshmallows are good for me?!

I double this recipie:

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon muscavado sugar*
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup muscavado sugar*
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 5 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon maple
• 1 teaspoon sea salt or redmounds rock salt

* Muscavado sugar is true brown sugar. If you are buying "brown sugar" be it organic or not than you are purchaseing white sugar that has molasses added to it to reconstitute it, kinda like OJ. Hence the lumping and packing of brown sugar, muscavado needs to be kept in a air tight container or it will turn into a "brick". Muscovado sugar retains all of the natural ingredients of sugar cane, making it wholesome and healthy. High in nutitional value, comparable even to pure honey, unlike the over processed nutritionaly empty sugars common in our american culture today.
