Sweet Potato Pudding 12/09/2009
 This is an old recipe that I think BFF gave me. I just love the crunchy top. So let's get started.  Here is what you need... 4 cups peeled and shredded sweet potatoes 4 beaten eggs 1/3 cup of orange juice 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp salt 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup chopped pecans bake @ 350 degrees for 1 hour.  Mix eggs....  with 1/3 cup of orange juice...  and 1/2 cup melted butter. Sometimes I only use 1/4 cup butter....just cause I can.  Mix into the egg mixture, brown sugar and the spices.  Mix in 4 cups of shredded sweet potatoes. Put in greased casserole dish. Put pecans on top. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 1 hour.  Here it is ready for the oven.  Here is the loving spoonful! I like to make this to go with a ham...or at Thanksgiving with turkey. I also like to put crushed pineapple in here instead of the orange juice...same amounts. I would like to encourage you to play with your foods. What is the worst that could happen? You might have to throw it out...or you could start a new tradition. Be brave. |
