  • Fill the water tank. Place the eggs in the large basket and the sweet potato and persimmon chunks into the smaller basket. Stack the baskets and start a 15 minute steam cycle.
  • When done, let cool slightly.
  • Crack the eggs open and discard the shells and white part (these may be saved for another recipe), and scooping out the yolks and placing in the blender. Add the sweet potato, persimmon and fresh liquid (I do not recommend using the liquid from the steamer) and puree until smooth, adding additional liquid if needed in 1/4 cup increments.
