Mashed Sweet Potatoes (V)

2 - 3 sweet potatoes
1 apple
1/2 - 1 cup coconut milk
1 vegetable bouillon cube
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cardamon
1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries

Peel (optional) and cut potatoes and apple in pieces (remove seeds and seed pods from apple) and put in a pot. Almost cover with water and bring to a boil. Add bouillon cube, lower heat and cover with a lid. Cook until soft. Remove broth and save for later. Add spices and mash potatoes and apples, adding coconut milk, maple syrup and broth until reaching desired texture. Then mix in raisins. If you prefer softer raisins, soak them for 10 minutes in water before adding to the mix.
