INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation time: 1 hour Yield: 8 to 10 servings  Pured sweet potatoes
are combined with fresh ginger and sweet spices,  plus several bold
surprises. The effect is delicious but subtle, and  your guests will
have trouble identifying all the ingredients.  NOTE: This can be
assembled a day ahead and stored unbaked and tightly  covered in the
refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before baking.    Peel the
sweet potatoes, cut them into chunks, and boil or steam  until soft.
Drain well and set aside.    Meanwhile, melt the butter or heat the oil
in a deep skillet or  Dutch oven. Stir in the apples, bananas, fresh
ginger, cinnamon,  allspice, and salt. Cook slowly, covered, but
stirring  intermittently, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fruit
becomes  saucelike. Remove from heat and set aside.    Preheat oven to
350øF. Oil-spray or butter a 9 x 13-inch baking  dish or deep
casserole.    Place the drained sweet potatoes in a food processor, and
add the  fruit juices. Pure until smooth, then transfer to the potful
of  cooked fruit.    Stir well, adding the apricots and optional
crystallized ginger as  you go. Transfer the mixture to the prepared
baking pan, spreading it  evenly into place. Top with chopped pecans,
if desired.    Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, and serve hot or warm.
