PECAN - TOPPED SWEET POTATOES 
2 1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes or yams, cooked and peeled
2 eggs
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, melted
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
Orange juice (up to 1 c. depending on need)
1/2 tsp. orange flavoring
1 c. pecan halves

Mash sweet potatoes. Beat in eggs, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of melted butter, salt and cinnamon. (If potatoes seem dry, add more orange juice.) Add flavoring. Put in a 2 quart casserole. (Refrigerate if you wish.) Before baking, arrange pecan halves on top; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through. Serves 8 to 10.
