- Melt butter with Fustini&rsquo,s Olive Oil in a medium size stock pot. Once the butter is melted, add the Serrano chili and sauté, for a few seconds. Add the Fustini&rsquo,s Vinegar, brown sugar and cook over medium high heat stirring constantly until the brown sugar has melted and the mixture is slightly thickened. Immediately add the cooked sweet potatoes and stir to coat. Turn the heat to low and continue cooking until the sweet potatoes are fully cooked and are coated with the sugar.
