For Seniors: Easy and Delicious! November Snack Activity

Sweet potato kinton (sweet potato tea towel squeeze)

Super Easy: Fun Snack Activity #dayservice #daycare #adultdaycare #dayrehab #caregiving #seniors #snack #sweetpotato #apple #chakin-shibori

Let me introduce smooth and delicious sweet potato chakin-shibori.

First, heat the sweet potatoes until soft, then mash them finely.

If you put them in a plastic bag and crush them with a pestle, anyone can do it easily.

Once there are no large lumps, add apple jam and mix.

If the mixture isn’t soft enough, adjust the texture by adding a little milk or soy milk at a time.

Take a piece of plastic wrap in your hand, place about two spoonfuls of the mixture on it, and roll it into a ball while shaping it.

Pulling the ends of the wrap will give you a neat “shibori” finish.

You can easily make a charming wagashi-style sweet, so it’s also recommended as a recreation activity in senior care facilities.

Pear Tarte Tatin

Skillet “Pear Tarte Tatin” — easy with canned pears and hotcake mix!

When you think of tarte Tatin, apple usually comes to mind, but you can make it with canned pears too—and with just one frying pan.

First, thinly slice the canned pears and arrange them in a frying pan that you’ve sprinkled with granulated sugar so they caramelize.

Then spoon batter made from pancake mix into the center and spread it out.

Bake for about 25 minutes, invert onto a plate, and it’s done.

You can make it with apples as well, so try different variations.

The spots where the sugar melts and browns become wonderfully toasty and delicious.

Sweet potato butter

[Sweet Potato Butter Recipe] Irresistibly delicious! Sweet potatoes and butter are the perfect combination.

Speaking of autumn, it has to be sweet potatoes! Many of you might remember digging them up as kids whenever you see them.

This “Sweet Potato Butter” is a simple recipe that lets you enjoy sweet potatoes deliciously.

First, cut the sweet potatoes into matchsticks.

Since you’ll use them with the skin on, be sure to wash them well.

Soak the cut sweet potatoes in water to remove bitterness, then pat them dry with paper towels.

Put the drained sweet potatoes and potato starch into a plastic bag, then shake to coat them evenly.

Heat some oil in a frying pan, add the starch-coated sweet potatoes, and cook until they’re browned.

Add salt, butter, and sugar, toss to coat, and you’re done.

A splash of soy sauce to taste is also delicious!
