This Sweet Potato and Butternut Puree is a lovely addition to any meal – creamy (without cream – natch), sweet and colourful. It does take a bit a time as there is boiling and mashing involved but it is worth it to produce a lovely side dish to any meal. The ginger adds a nice kick of spice and the apple provides the sweetness.
