Steps:

• Cook sweet potato in pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; transfer to large bowl.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add apple; sauté until tender and golden, about 8 minutes. Add apple to sweet potato; mash together. Cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring milk, sugar, sage, and salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; gradually whisk in cornmeal. Cook until cornmeal absorbs milk and pulls clean from bottom of pan, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Whisk in 3 tablespoons butter. Whisk yolks in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in warm cornmeal mixture. Whisk in baking powder. Mix sweet potato mixture into cornmeal mixture. Beat egg whites in medium bowl to medium-stiff peaks. Fold whites into warm cornmeal mixture.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Pour batter into skillet. Transfer skillet to oven; bake spoon bread until top is golden and puffed, about 1 hour. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, loosely sift the dry ingredients.In a separate bowl, combine eggs, oil, and buttermilk or kefir. Add the sweet potatoes and mix well.
• Add the sweet potato mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined, being careful not to overmix.
• Pour into a greased 9-inch baking pan or spoon into a 12-cup muffin tin. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes or until the cornbread is golden.
• Test with a toothpick, and serve with honey.

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: In a small bowl, mix together the warm water and yeast. Let sit, undisturbed, for 1 minute, then whisk to dissolve. Let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups flour, salt, nutmeg and mace. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, beat together the 5 tablespoons butter and the sugar to form a paste. You are not looking for a lot of air; you just want the mixture to look cohesive.
• Break the egg into a small bowl or cup and stir with a fork to break up the yolk a bit, then add to the creamed sugar base. Beat with a sturdy wooden spoon to combine. Add the sweet potato purée and continue beating until mostly incorporated; the mixture will look curdled. Stir in the yeast mixture.
• Add the flour mixture and stir to create a soft, shaggy dough. Turn it out onto a flour-dusted surface and knead and fold the edges of the dough into the center until it comes together.
• Continue kneading for about 8 minutes, adding flour as necessary if the dough gets sticky until you form a smooth but tender ball. This is a wetter dough and may absorb up to 1/4 cup more flour, so keep adding as you knead. (Alternately, this whole process can be done in a mixer, using the beater attachment on low to combine the butter and sugar until creamy. Stream in the beaten egg, followed by the sweet potato purée and finish with the flour. Once all the flour is added, switch to the dough hook and mix on medium-low for 6 to 8 minutes. Three minutes into kneading, check for tackiness and add flour if the dough does not come cleanly off the hook.)
• Scrape any leftover bits from the large bowl and discard. Grease with a little butter or oil, nest the dough in the bowl turning it once to coat lightly. Cover with a plate, pot lid or wet towel and let sit in a warm place until doubled in volume 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Punch down the dough, fold the edges into the center, flip the dough over and cover with a pot lid or an inverted plate. Chill overnight in the refrigerator (or at least 8 hours).
• The next morning, soak the raisins in boiling water to cover and let them sit for 10 minutes to plump. Drain well and set aside. Grease a 1 1/2-pound-capacity loaf pan (such as a 9-by-4-inch small Pullman or a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan) with softened butter or oil.
• Make the wine loaf: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a separate small bowl, beat together the butter and sugar to make a paste. Add the egg and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture and stir until smooth and uniform. Keep at room temperature.
• Remove dough from the fridge; it should be puffy and nearly doubled in size. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into an oblong sheet that is about 18-by-6 inches, using a little flour if necessary to keep it from sticking.
• Spread the wine loaf across the surface of the dough in a thin, even layer, using an offset spatula or sturdy rubber spatula.
• Scatter the plumped raisins over the battered dough, pressing lightly to adhere, then sprinkle very lightly with additional cinnamon to lightly coat.
• Roll the dough up lengthwise, shaping it into a tight 6-inch-long log. When finished, rock the loaf back and forth a bit on the surface and press on both ends with your hands to even it out. You want the loaf to fit snugly in the bottom of the pan. To adjust the dimensions, roll it a little more to elongate it or press the ends a few more times to make it shorter. Lift it up and slip the loaf into the buttered loaf pan, seam-side down.
• Let rise at room temperature, covered loosely with a sheet of lightly greased plastic wrap, until doubled and brimming in your pan, about 3 hours.
• When your loaf looks close to ready, heat the oven to 375 degrees and position a rack in the center.
• Brush the surface of the loaf with cream, and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, rotating after 30 minutes to ensure even coloring. The loaf should be a deep golden brown and register 200 degrees when tested with a thermometer. (If the loaf is browning too quickly, you can tent with aluminum foil halfway through baking.)
• Remove from the oven and, using oven mitts or towels, bang the pan on all sides on the counter to release the loaf, carefully unmolding it onto a cooling rack. Let loaf cool completely before slicing. (If you cut it when hot, you may dry out the interior.) Store bread in an extra large sealed bag for 2 to 3 days, slice it before bagging for easy toasting. You can also freeze it in resealable freezer-safe plastic bags, whole or sliced.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish and dust with cornmeal. Steam sweet potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and mash until very smooth; let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring milk to a simmer. Whisk in cornmeal in a thin stream. Cook, whisking constantly until just thickened, 1 to 3 minutes; remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, stir together mashed potatoes, cornmeal mixture, egg yolks, sugar, molasses, ginger, and salt. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Stir in half of egg whites into cornmeal mixture. Very gently fold in remaining egg whites.
• Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish, place on a baking sheet and bake until puffed and set, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine sugar, eggs, sweet potatoes and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg, allspice cinnamon, salt and baking soda; stir into potato mixture. Fold in nuts if desired. Pour into two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until bread tests done. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a pot or kettle of water to a boil.
• Bake sweet potatoes in skin until fork tender about 40 minuets and let cool to touch.
• Remove skin and place sweet potato in a large mixing bowl mash till softened.
• Add drained pineapples, stir together.
• Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, molasses and ginger to the and bowl stir.
• I taste at this point to determine how much sugar to add, usually no more than 1/2 a cup and stir.
• Again I would taste to determine if the flavors are what I wish, since raw eggs are added in the next set, this is where I do my final tweeking or tasting.
• Then in a separate bowl combine the corn muffin mix, eggs, milk, sour cream until just blended.
• Add the muffin mixture to the sweet potato mixture and stir until combined, the texture should be closer to pancake mix than to muffin mix.
• Using two equal size baking dishes fill one with the boiling water and place in the oven on the lower shelf leaving space on the upper shelf for the spoon bread.
• Fill the second with the combined mixture place on top shelf in over.
• cook for about 45 minutes to an hour depending on oven size and container used to cook it.
• The spoon bread is complete when a tooth pick or knife inserted in the middle comes out not wet, because it is a very moist mixture you do not want a clean knife as you would with a cake, it should not be moving in the middle indicating it is still not fully cooked, if it moving in the middle and still wet when checked I would add 15 minutes to cooking time and check again.
• When it is out cover with foil to keep the moisture for about fifteen minutes
• Then it is all set to eat or can be kept and reheated great for plan ahead meals.
