Did you harvest this years
sweet potato crop? Here is a
suggestion from Mrs. D. S.
Stoltzfus from Kinzers for those
small potatoes.
Sort out the big ones and put
them away to store. Using the
small potatoes that just dry up
when stored - wash, cook and put
through a sieve (or strainer). Mix
potatoes as you would for sweet
potato patties and freeze. For
later use, just thaw and fry a
little.
Did you ever freeze whole
sweet potatoes? Wash the raw
potatos and cook with the skins on
until almost soft. Peel when cool
enough to handle, then divide into
the size portions needed for your
family and freeze. These are
quick when you want them later
for candied sweet potatoes, and it
is a good way to have your own
sweet potatoes in the sum
mertime.
How do you prepare soybeans?
There is a request for ways to use
soybeans by a reader. Can you
help her?
