Use fully cooked beans, never raw or merely soaked kidney beans. Blend with enough of their cooking liquid to make a smooth purée. Pass through a sieve into a saucepan to remove coarse skins.
Stir in both distinct milk products, vanilla, salt, sugar, sweet potato, cinnamon and cloves. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, until the sweet potato is fully tender.
Add raisins and simmer for about 10 minutes more, stirring so the sweetened milk does not stick or scorch. Remove and count out the whole cloves and cinnamon sticks.
Serve warm with optional milk cookies or cool promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate to serve chilled. The source makes at least ten dessert portions; it is not a canning recipe.
