Ingredients

sweet potato

Sweet potatoes are a root vegetable with an orange-brown skin and orange flesh. Botanically, sweet potatoes and potatoes are completely unrelated and not in the same family. The starchy and tuberous root of the sweet potato is hard when raw, but when cooked it becomes soft with a consistency similar to a baking potato, but more fibrous, softer and juicier. The skin is edible and thick. The flavor of the sweet potato flesh is sweet and earthy. This root can be used in dishes both savory and sweet.

maple syrup

Maple syrup comes from the sap of the maple tree and is cooked down into a syrupy consistency. The color varies from a pale to dark amber. The darker the color is, the stronger the flavor will be. Maple syrup is broken down into four categories all under the name Grade A, with four levels of varying color and flavor. Darker syrup will be slightly thicker than light colored syrups. The flavor of a light maple is sweet and a warm. Darker syrups have a more robust flavor and a slightly caramel taste. Maple syrups is used to drizzle on pancakes, baked into desserts as a flavoring, and can be used in savory dishes from ham to vegetables. Like many sweeteners, it is a multi-use item.

butter

Butter is made from churned cream, usually from a cow. It has a cream color and a texture that is smooth and melts easily. The flavor is mild and creamy. Butter is often sold in square sticks, or as a flat or round block. It is delicious on bread. It pairs better in baked goods than salted butter, due to its more neutral taste. It also makes an excellent cooking fat.

brown sugar

Brown sugar comes from the sugar cane or sugar beet. It is less refined than white sugar, but a refined sugar nonetheless. Brown sugar varies in color from light brown to dark brown. Light brown sugar has a milder flavor and lower moisture content, than stronger tasting brown sugar. The taste is mildly like molasses and very sweet. The sugar comes in fine granules that clump together. Brown sugar is used in baked goods for its sweet flavor and ability to make cookies soft. It is also used in many savory dishes to balance flavors.

cinnamon ground

Ground cinnamon is a fine aromatic powder made from the bark of the cinnamon tree, also known as cassia; another variety. The bark is peeled from the tree, dried and ground into the warm brown powder that is known as cinnamon. The flavor is spicy, warm and sweet and savory at the same time. It is extremely popular in many cuisines and common in American desserts.
