Candied sweet potatoes taken one step further. Sweet enough to be served as a dessert. Excellent side dish for holiday dinners. One of my mother's recipes, but unsure where she got it. She has been making it for years. Ingredients:
4 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes |
1/2 cup butter, or |
1/2 cup margarine |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons apple pie spice |
4 eggs |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 cups canned milk |
1 1/2 cups crushed ritz crackers |
1/2 cup melted butter, or |
1/2 cup melted margarine |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 cup pecans, chopped |
Directions:
1. Mix mashed sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 3/4 cup sugar, apple pie spice, eggs, lemon juice, and canned milk and pour into a 9 X 13 glass casserole baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
2. While casserole is baking, mix remaining ingredients for topping. After removing from oven, sprinkle topping over the top and return to the oven for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
