| 2 | c | Sweet potatoes or yams; peeled and diced |
| 2 | c | Yautia (gabi) peeled and diced (if you can't find this use parsnips) |

INSTRUCTIONS
In a covered pot, bring the coconut milk to a simmer. Drop in the dumplings and cook for 25 minutes or until the balls float to the top. Add sugar, bananas, sweet potato, yautia and tapioca pearls and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until all the ingredients are soft. The length of time will depend on the size of the pieces of fruit. Just before it's finished, add the preserved fruit and simmer for one or two more minutes. Serves 12-15.
