This sweet potato dumplings is to DIE FOR - they have been our favorite dessert when we visit our family in Malaysia ever since I have memory. And of course, the best recipe always come from grandma right? :) 

Grandma once told me that this dessert is from Hainan island where her and Grandpa are originally from; however, I can't really find much information online about it. We as the Foo's descendants must learn how to make them so our children and grandchildren can also get to enjoy this delicious family recipe <3 Like all the other recipes from my grandma, the one way to know what's the "right amount" use of ingredients is through feeling it, and that feeling only comes from experience. Good luck =)

聖誕節是我每年最期待的節日。不僅僅是因為在美國有連假，還有各種聖誕音樂，佈置，美食，再加上白雪紛飛和知道可以馬上回台灣與家人團聚的心情，都是讓我愛聖誕節的原因。每年年底我都會在家辦個聖誕主題趴與好友團聚慶祝這個美好的節日。因為馬上就要搬離芝加哥，去年是我最後一次主辦這個聚會，決定自己製做果醬送給朋友做為道別禮物。沒想到果醬裡面雖有一半是糖(是的沒錯!!!)，用新鮮材料製成的果醬還是只能在冰箱裡面保存一到三個禮拜。為了能夠加長保存期限並且不外加防腐劑，我從網路上學到了在自己家的廚房封罐保存的方法。因為要搬家了不想另外購買封罐工具，從 the kitchen 網站上學到了如何利用鋁箔紙和橡皮筋取代專業的工具。
