Grated Sweet Potato Pudding

4 cups grated sweet potatoes (raw)
1 cup cane syrup
½ cup sugar
1 cup milk
½ cup butter
3 eggs
½ cup chopped pecans
1 cup raisins
½ teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1. In a heavy iron skillet, melt the butter. 
2. Mix all the ingredients except eggs and butter together.
3. Beat eggs and add to remaining ingredients.
4. Pour into pan of hot butter and stir until heated.
5. Put skillet into a 375 degree oven to bake for 40 minutes, stirring half way through. 
6. Serve with sweetened cream if desired.

The iron skillet will make the pudding dark, which is desirable.  If baked in a different pan, pudding will be lighter.
