1. Peel sweet potatoes. Cut off woody portions and ends. Cut into quarters. Cook, covered, in enough boiling salted water to cover for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain. Cool slightly.
2. Place drained sweet potatoes in a food processor bowl. Cover and process until smooth. Add the bananas; cover and process until smooth.
3. In a large saucepan stir together the sweet potato-banana mixture, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and nutmeg. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, over very low heat about 30 minutes or until very thick, stirring frequently.
4. Place the saucepan in a sink filled with ice water to cool the sweet potato mixture. Spoon cooled mixture into storage containers. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Makes about 4 half-pints butter.
