Instructions
- Wash 500 g Japanese sweet potato and cut them into thick slices. Peel the skin off of each slice thickly using a knife (not a peeler) to remove the fibrous edges.
- Soak the slices in a bowl of cold water and a pinch of salt for 5 minutes, then drain and wash with fresh water to remove the excess starch.
- Transfer the slices to a saucepan and fill with cold fresh water until completely covered. Mix in A few pinches turmeric powder (or place pierced gardenia pods in a tea infuser) and place the pan on the stove.
- Heat on medium, bring to a rolling boil and cook until soft and easily pierced with a fork. (Approx 20-25 minutes.) Once cooked, remove from the heat and drain the water.
- While it's still hot, mash with a potato masher until smooth.
- Optional step: To make the sweet potato extra smooth, work the mash through a mesh sieve using a spatula. Transfer it back to the sauce pan.
- Add 60 g white sugar while it's still warm and mix until it's dissolved into the mixture.
- Turn on the heat to low and add ½ tsp salt, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp honey and 4 tbsp of syrup from the candied chestnuts. Mix continuously over the heat for about 5 minutes.
- Add 200 g chestnuts in syrup on their own (don't add any more syrup) and mix until evenly distributed, stir over the heat for a further 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a sealable container and allow to cool before storing in the fridge.
- Best served chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
- Kuri Kinton can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days or up to 1 month in the freezer.
