Flavour Suggestion

Sunday I kept thinking about a Sweet-Potato Strawberry purée, either as an ice cream or a sorbet. I have no idea how to make the base without some kind of juicer but it should be done.

I've puréed sweet potatoes before as a result of advice from the book "Deceptively Delicious." I found the easiest way to make a sweet potato purée was to bake the potatoes, skin them, mash them and out them in a blender or stand mixer with some water or other liquid. I don't have a decent food processor. Having one of those would have probably made the whole process easier.

A mashed sweet potato recipe would probably be a decent start.

As for the strawberries, you might find it easier to buy strawberry puree or juice. The Mexican or "ethnic" food aisle in the local grocery should have the juice and the puree can often be found in sweetened form in the baking aisle as a pie filling.

You can also get cans of coked sweet potatoes.

I feel like such a wimp for suggesting something I can't produce myself, but I'm glad to see it can be done.

If you can make mashed potatoes from scratch, then you can do this recipe. What you have in mind is basically mashed potatoes with strawberry and extra cream.

The more I think bout it, the more I think using chopped strawberries as a mix-in at the end would be easier than strawberry juice. That way you only have the sweet potato, milk and cream to deal with in getting the mix to freeze to the right consistency.

You can also look in the frozen food section for Goya brand fruit pulp. I'm not sure I've seen strawberry, but the Goya website says it exists.

I can got the strawberry at my local Latino Market, among other flavors.
