[Bensmum1109 0]

By request (here you go Alexra!)

3 large cans sweet potatoes in light Syrup

1/2 cup butter

1 cup pecans, chopped

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 oz. bourbon (I use Maker's Mark)

3 oz. orange juice

1/2 tsp allspice

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Place sweet potatoes in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, then remove from heat, place in a colander and drain.

Melt butter in saucepan, then place pecans in the butter and toast for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add brown sugar and bourbon, and stir for a minute, then add orange juice. Cook for an additional minute or two to reduce.

Add potatoes to sauce and smash with a potato masher, mixing well.

Add remaining dry ingredients together in a dish, then sprinkle over potatoes, continuing to mix well.

Enjoy in SMALL QUANTITIES:rolleyes:
