Ingredients:
8 small oranges |
5 medium-size sweet potatoes, boiled, peeled, and mashed (about 4 cups) |
1/2 cup milk |
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
3 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened |
dash of salt |
dash of pepper |
dash of ground nutmeg |
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Cut a thin slice from bottom of each orange so that it will sit flat. Cut a 1-inch slice from top of oranges. Gently remove pulp, leaving shells intact. Scallop edges, and set aside.
2. Combine hot potatoes, milk, sugar, honey, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; mix well. Spoon mixture into prepared orange cups; sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 325° for 10 minutes.
3. Note: If desired, sweet potato mixture can be piped into orange shells for a more festive appearance.
