sweet potato candy

-I came across this recipe through the relative of a friend about 15 years ago.  She was from Brazil and made these sweets for Christmas.  I loved them and have made them on and off ever since.

-Yes, they have sugar but the sweet potato has such a low glycaemic index (GI) that it "neutralises" the sugar..... well sort of.  The lemon juice also lowers the GI.  In fact, add more lemon juice for a bit of extra tang. 

-Anyway, you eat 2 or 3 with your cup of tea.
