Orange Pecan Sweet Potatoes

 

3 pounds (about 4 large) sweet potatoes, peeled, chunked and cooked

 

1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons corn starch

1 cup orange juice

2 tablespoons butter

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

 

Spray 3 quart (13 x 9 inch) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Add sweet

potatoes and sprinkle pecans over them.

Combine brown sugar and corn starch in a small saucepan. Gradually add orange

juice, whisking to blend. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until

mixture boils. Reduce heat and simmer 2-3 minutes, while stirring frequently.

Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla, stir, then pour over sweet potatoes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until edges are browned and bubbly.
