Camotes Enmielados (Mexican Candied Sweet Potatoes) #SundaySupper

I LOVE fall!  It is by far my favorite season of the year.  And not just because the 1st day of fall sometimes falls on my birthday.  (Like this year.  Happy Birthday to me!)  I love the crisper weather.  Watching the leaves fall from the trees.  Bundling up in my favorite sweater.  And all of the yummy, warm, comforting treats that are synonymous with the season.

Usually around this time of the year, I'm all about apples or pumpkins.  But right now I only have eyes for Sweet Potatoes and/or yams.  I always get the two confused.  But in Spanish I don't have that problem.  In Mexico we call both sweet potatoes and yams, camotes.  And the most popular sweet potato dish has to be Camotes Enmielados (Mexican Candied Sweet Potatoes).  They're these sweet, syrupy sweet potatoes cooked in piloncillo (unrefined sugar cones) and cinnamon that taste just like fall.  As soon as I flipped my calendar to September, I had a pot of Camotes Enmielados simmering away on the stove.  I can't think of a better way to celebrate my favorite season.

What's your favorite fall food?

Camotes Enmieladitos
(Candied Sweet Potatoes)

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. sweet potatoes, cut in 2-inch slices
• 2 cups water
• 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
• 2 cones dulce macho (piloncillo) 

Directions:
Place the sweet potato slices in a dutch oven or large pot with the water and cinnamon sticks.  Arrange the piloncillo cones (whole) directly on top of the sweet potato slices.  Cover the pot and let simmer over low heat for about an hour until the camotes are completely cooked and the syrup has thickened slightly.  Let cool slightly.  Serve warm with milk or drizzle a little sweetened condensed milk on top.  Enjoy!
