Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes, stirring frequently (if mixture spatters, reduce heat further). Ladle sweet potato butter into half-pint freezer containers, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace (p. xx).

Tip Sweet potatoes are tubers commonly available in two varieties: one with light skin and pale flesh, and the other with reddish skin and vibrant orange flesh. Yams are tubers native to Asia and Africa. The "yams" at the grocery store are most likely orange-flesh sweet potatoes, which are often mislabeled in the United States. For this recipe, look for small to medium orange-flesh sweet potatoes.
