Sweet Potato, Pumpkin and Apple Puree
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 pound pumpkin, seeds removed
- 2 tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 5 tablespoons plain Greek-style yogurt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Scrub sweet potatoes, and pierce in several places with a sharp knife.
- Pierce the apples in a few places.
- Line a baking sheet with foil, lightly oil the foil, and place the potatoes, pumpkin (cut side down) and apples on top.
- Bake the pumpkin and apples for 30 to 40 minutes, until a knife can easily be inserted right to the core of the apples (its fine if the skin pops off the apples, or if they collapse) and the pumpkin is soft.
- Remove the pumpkin and apples from the oven.
- Continue to bake the sweet potatoes until thoroughly soft and beginning to ooze, 15 minutes or longer, depending on the size.
- Remove from the heat, and allow to cool until you can handle them easily.
- Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
- Remove the skins from the potatoes and pumpkin.
- Peel and core the apples, and scrape off any apple flesh that adheres to the skin.
- Chop everything coarsely, and place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
- Puree until smooth.
- Add the remaining ingredients, and blend well.
- Transfer to a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish.
- Heat the puree in the 350-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until steaming.
- Serve hot.
