Notes
This sweet potato pudding calls for home-baked or boiled sweet potatoes. We don't have canned sweet potatoes here in France. I guess they should work if they aren't too soft.
We are looking for a mashy texture, not pureed sweet potatoes.
The sweetness of sweet potatoes varies according to cultivars and where they were cultivated. So add some honey if the raisins aren't enough to sweeten your pudding.
You can make this pudding ahead for up to 3 days. Store in an air-tight jar and place it in the fridge.
The time indicated doesn't include cooking and cooling time.
