Keyword Syrup, Yacon
Blitz up your yacon to a pulp, then pass through a sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice. (alternatively use a juicer). Add to a large saucepan.
Bring the juice to boil, on medium heat and keep it continuously simmering, stirring occasionally.
Scum will rise to the top and you can scoop this off with a spoon. Keep a close eye on the syrup as it reduces.
After about 3 hours the yacon juice should have reduced considerably. Increase the frequency of stirring now to avoid it burning.
Once it is the consistency of runny honey, pour into a sterilised jar.
