Instructions: Forget the gobs of butter and brown sugar. Pineapple and spices add flavor but not unwanted calories and fat.

1. In a large saucepan, boil the unpeeled sweet potatoes over medium head for 45 minutes or until you can pierce them easily with a fork; or bake them directly on the rack in a preheated 375 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

2. After completing either method of cooking, let the potatoes cool and then gently peel them.

3. Mash the potatoes with the pineapple and spices.

4. Place in a 1 quart casserole dish and top with slivered almonds.

5. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
