Sweet Potatoes and Pecans
Ingredients
6 to 8 small sweet potatoes
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup orange juice
Directions
Boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Allow to cool a bit until they can be handled. Peel off the skins and roll one side of each potato in the chopped pecans.
Blend the brown sugar, butter and orange juice and cook for 5 minutes over low heat to form a syrup. Arrange the potatoes with the pecan side up in a baking dish. Pour over the syrup.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve with syrup over the potatoes.
