- 1 cup unsweetened apple juice
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Place the peeled and sliced sweet potato pieces into the Instant Pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

- Serve: Spoon the sweet potato butter into a serving dish and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm sweet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more apple juice during pureeing.
- This butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Reheat gently before serving if chilled.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or molasses according to taste.
