This quick dessert is good alone or as a pie filling. If you like a strong maple taste, use a darker grade of syrup.

Variations:

Maple-Butterscotch-Pecan Pudding: Use 2 cups vanilla soy or rice milk; a dark grade of maple syrup, or increase maple syrup by 1 tablespoon; and 1 teaspoon butterscotch. Combine with sweet potatoes, arrowroot, and salt and cook as directed. Stir in 1/3 cup toasted, chopped pecans and cool.

This was really nice! I used a little extra maple & cinnamon cause i have a sweet tooth, and i think a dollop will make a interesting topping on plain oatmeal tommorow.:lick:

Kiz - why the arrowroot - I've seen it in several recipes lately? I know cornstarch is highly refined - but I have a tough time finding arrowroot - just wondered if it made a difference? This looks really yummy - as I love both apricots and sweet potato...
