Sweet Potato Mash:

- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 ounce whole milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon salt
Raisin Sauce:
- ¼ cup raisins
- ½ cup dry red wine
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Cod:

Make the Sweet Potato Mash and Raisin Sauce:
Peel and roughly dice sweet potatoes. Add to a medium pot, and cover with water. Bring water to a boil, and reduce to simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender (about 10 minutes).
Drain potatoes, and mash with a fork. Add butter, milk, and maple syrup, and mash to incorporate. Salt to taste.
Raisin Sauce:
If using a Standard Blender or Food Processor: Place raisins in a heat-proof bowl, and pour boiling water over them until they're covered. Soak for 5-10 minutes, and drain the water.If using a High-Performance Blender (such as a Vitamix): You can skip this step. Purée the raisins, wine and maple syrup in a blender. Add to a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, and cover to keep warm.
Recipe variation: For an extra creamy sweet potato mash: Add cut sweet potatoes to a pan of cold water, and bring to a simmer. Do not allow the water to boil, and continue to simmer the potatoes until they're tender. Potatoes will be sweeter and creamier, but it will take about 20 minutes longer than the original recipe version.
No blender? You can serve the sauce without blending it together, it's just prettier this way.
