In a deep pot, place the sweet potatoes in cubes, pour enough water to cover, add orange peel, lemon peel, cinnamon, and cook over high heat until the water boils. Cover and cook for 20 minutes over medium heat, until the sweet potato is soft enough, then it will be time to remove from heat and drain. Place the sweet potato in a bowl and mash it with a potato masher until you get a purée. Set aside. In a deep hot pan, melt the butter, add the sweet potato purée, orange juice, evaporated milk, condensed milk, whole milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; mix and cook over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, remembering to stir constantly so that it doesn't stick to the bottom. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, serve in cups, accompany with whipped cream, chopped nuts, and garnish with lemon.
