PECAN SWEET POTATOES 
2 1/2 to 3 lb. sweet potatoes or yams, cooked and peeled
2 eggs
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. melted butter
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. orange juice
1 c. pecan halves

Mash sweet potatoes. Beat in eggs, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup of the melted butter, salt and cinnamon. If potatoes seem dry, beat in orange juice until moist and fluffy. Put in a 1 1/2 or 2 quart casserole dish.

Before baking, arrange pecan halves on top and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar. Then drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through.
