1

Start with 4 pounds of red beans that have been soaked overnight.

2

Drain the beans and place them in a pot with water and salt.

3

Boil the beans until tender, which can take about 1-2 hours.

4

In a separate pot, add 4 sweet potatoes, cut into large pieces, and boil them in water for 20-25 minutes without any seasoning.

5

Once the sweet potatoes are soft but not too mushy, remove them from the water and let them cool.

6

Blend the cooked red beans until smooth, adding some of the cooking liquid if necessary.

7

Strain the blended beans to remove any solids, keeping the liquid for the next steps.

8

In a large pot, combine the strained bean mixture with 3 cans of evaporated milk, 2 sticks of unsalted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt.

9

Add the raisins to the mixture and stir well.

10

Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for several hours until thickened.
