Use as a sweetener for drinks and desserts, or any general sweetening need.
Ingredients
2 big bowls yacon
Method
Peel yacon and put the tubers through a juicer.
Pour the juice (about 4.5 litres) into a big pot. The puree can be fed to the chickens!
Start to heat the juice, removing scum as you go. Allow to boil, then simmer, stirring now and then, until reduced to a fifth, say 800ml. This could take 2 or 3 hours. The juice should have become very dark and smell like treacle.
Filter juice through a fine mesh and place in a clean jar or bottle. Keep in the fridge.
