When I was growing up my Mom and close relatives will make these appetizers on special occasions like Christmas, Easter, birthdays and other special occasions.

Last week my wife bought some sweet potatoes from the market and on Wednesday I remembered we had them and then the idea came, sweet potato balls.

Then I started thinking about the ingredients and had to find out if we had them? We had all the ingredients but bread crumbs.

I had gotten some bread from the market a few days prior which  was perfect for bread crumbs.

Today’s recipe Orange Marmalade was my favorite spread on bread with a nice, warm cup of hot chocolate :).

My older sister used to make, bottle, and distribute different flavors back in Ghana when we were growing up.

Although there was an abundance of it, I never got tired of eating my favorite marmalade mixed with butter on warm soft bread.

I could have it for breakfast every day of the week.

However, I can’t do that at this point in my life, I have to watch what I eat.

My favorite bread to use this great spread on is the West African famous Ghana Sugar Bread.

Once you try it let me know how it goes.

The best marmalades can be found at your local Farmer’s Markets or on Amazon.
