Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Bake sweet potatoes in a 350º oven on a foil-lined baking sheet about 1-1/4 hours or until tender. Cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, cook and stir pecans, granulated sugar, and the 1 tablespoon margarine or butter in a small heavy skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until sugar melts and turns golden brown. (Don't overcook).
  3. Immediately remove from heat and spread nut mixture on a greased baking sheet or foil; separate into clusters. Cool completely and chop into small pieces with a knife; set aside.
  4. Scoop pulp from baked sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl, discarding peel. Mash by hand or beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
  5. Stir in liqueur or milk, the 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Beat until fluffy.
  6. Spread mixture in a lightly greased 2-quart rectangular baking dish.
  7. Just before baking, sprinkle with candied pecans.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until heated through.
