2 Sweet Potatoes
1 ripe Mango
3 Pears
PREPARATION:
Number of Ingredients: 3
Preparation Time: 10 min

DIRECTIONS:
STEP 1: Rinse the sweet potato and scrub the skin with a vegetable brush to remove dirt. Rinse again, then peel with a veggie peeler and cut sweet potato into small chunks. Bring to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat and cook sweet potato chunks until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water.
STEP 2: Peel, core and cut the pear into chunks. Bring to boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and cook gently until soft (about 5-10 minutes depending on the type of pear). Drain and rinse with cold water.
STEP 3: Cut the mango lengthways as close to the flat seed as possible into two slices. With a knife, cut each slice flesh-side-up into small squares, being careful not to cut all the way through the skin. Either cut cubes off or scoop the flesh out with a spoon.
