Ingredients

1/3 cup raisins
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 saffron threads, crumbled, or to taste

Preparation

Place raisins into a bowl, cover with boiling water, and let stand to plump.
Place sweet potatoes into a saucepan, cover with 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Add honey, butter, salt, cinnamon, black pepper, turmeric, and saffron to potatoes; reduce heat to low.
