Method

For yam chutney, melt butter in a large saucepan. Cook and stir onion, apple, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper in hot butter for 4 minutes. Stir in salt, cranberries, syrup, and mashed sweet potatoes; heat through. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread a generous portion of yam chutney inside each pita pocket. Divide ham and cheese among each pocket. Place 6 green beans in each pocket. Place pockets on a baking sheet. Bake about 7 minutes or until heated through. Serve with remaining yam chutney.

 

Notes: Creamy spicy yam chutney is a good accompaniment to smoked ham and Swiss cheese. The green beans give this sandwich a nice crunch.
