INGREDIENTS
- Servings: 12-15
- 10 cup Lowfat coconut milk
- 2 cup Sugar
- 2 cup Sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and diced

DIRECTIONS
- In a covered pot, bring the coconut milk to a simmer. Drop in the dumplings and cook for 25 minutes or until the balls float to the top.
- Add sugar, bananas, sweet potato, yautia and tapioca pearls and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until all the ingredients are soft.
- The length of time will depend on the size of the pieces of fruit. Just before it's finished, add the preserved fruit and simmer for one or two more minutes.
