ORANGE GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS
Here is a great holiday side dish! Of course it can be made and enjoyed any time. My mom makes this. I prefer to mash the potatoes somewhat coursely or lumpy rather than as smoothly as typical mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375. Bake potatoes until very tender -- about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool, and reduce oven heat to 350.
- Scoop potatoes out of peels and mash until desired texture. Stir in remaining ingredients and place in casserole dish (9 X 9).
- Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over potatoes. Bake until done at 350 -- about 1/2 hours.
- Optional: stud with 9 pecan halves at even intervals before returning to oven, just to make it look pretty.
Tips:
- Use fresh pecans: Fresh pecans will have a sweeter, more flavorful taste than stale or rancid pecans. Look for pecans that are plump and have a light brown color.
- Toast the pecans before glazing them: Toasting the pecans will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy. You can toast pecans in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality maple syrup: The quality of the maple syrup you use will have a big impact on the taste of the glazed pecans. Look for a maple syrup that is dark and amber-colored, and has a rich, sweet flavor.
- Don't overcook the pecans: Overcooked pecans will be tough and chewy. Cook the pecans just until the glaze is set and the pecans are evenly coated.
Conclusion:
Sweet pecans glazed with maple syrup are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or holiday gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and flavorful treat that everyone will love.
