Sweet Potato Butter

My friend Janet from upstate NY came to visit me this past week. While she was in Arizona she stopped at a shop and got me a jar of Sweet Potato Butter. I'd never had it before and being that I love Pumpkin Pie flavour, this really appealed to me. I just love the taste of this butter. This would be great for a tart filling or as a topping on toast, muffins or vanilla ice cream.
