Southern Sweet Potato Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
    3 green onions with tops, sliced
    1 cup raisins
    1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained well
    1 cup pecans, chopped
    1 cup mayonnaise (low fat or not)
    1 cup sour cream (low fat or not)
    2 tablespoons cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon honey
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Preparation
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sweet potato cubes. Boil about 5-7 minutes just until tender but firm enough to hold their shape. Drain into a colander and rinse under cold water. Drain well. In a large bowl gently toss sweet potatoes with celery, green onions, raisins, pineapple and pecans.
    In medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Gently toss with sweet potato mixture. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
