Mix the sugars, salt and cinnamon and combine with the liquid. If using baked sweet potatoes, melt 1/2 cup butter and mix with sugars. Bring the mixture to a boil; then reduce heat. Over medium heat cook until mixture forms a light syrup approximately 20 minutes stirring to prevent sticking. One teaspoon vanilla extract maybe added.
