My grandmother's sweet potato pudding bears no resemblance to the modern marshmallow-topped versions. It is made in the traditional way of preparing sweet potatoes from her mother's time, a truly old, very different dish. One of my students took the pudding to a nursing home. She said that tears rolled down the cheeks of one of the patients as she ate these sweet potatoes. The woman said, "I haven't had sweet potatoes like this since I was a girl." Nannie, my grandmother, grated the sweet potatoes raw; in the time of hand graters, this was quite a chore. The potatoes were a deep brownish orange by the time she finished. The predominant seasoning that she added was ginger -powdered, from the can. Fresh ginger was unknown. The rest of the ingredients were simple - brown sugar, a little salt and cornmeal, rich milk from Bessie, our cow, and a fresh egg. The cornmeal prevents the egg proteins from curdling and aids in the thickening of the dish. Nannie's baking techniques were outstanding. Notice in the recipe how she advises you to stir the custard after 15 minutes and again 10 minutes later so that the outside edge that was beginning to set is now in the middle. This prevents having a dish that is dry and overcooked around the edge before the center is done. Baking is a good cooking method for sweet potatoes. Their deep orange color comes from carotenoid compounds, like beta carotene, which is supposed to help save us from disease. There are three types of red compounds in foods - the orange and orange-red carotenoids, the betalins and the blue-red anthocyanins. Of all these, the carotenoids are the easiest for cooks to handle. Their colors are fat-soluble and very stable. They retain their nutrients and remain a good deep orange or red-orange even after lengthy baking. Pumpkins, squash, carrots, tomatoes, red bell peppers - all can be thrown into nearly any dish and they will retain their color well.

Cover and chill for 30 minutes. Drain the olives on some paper towel. Remove pastry from the refrigerator and roll it between two sheets of waxed paper to a thickness of 1/8 inch [3mm]. Cut 1 1/2-inch diameter [4cm] circles of pastry. Place an olive on each circle and close the pastry around it to seal. Roll it into a smooth ball.
