~ sweet potato casserole ~

The perfect side dish with turkey, ham or  THIS pork tenderloin. The yummy spices will make your whole house smell heavenly as you prepare for your guests. I love this kind of aromatherapy!

5 large sweet potatoes

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1 large egg

1 and 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1/8 teaspoon cloves

2 Tablespoons melted butter

1 cup pecans or walnuts

2 Tablespoons brown or turbinado sugar

Poke holes in sweet potatoes with a fork and bake at 350 degrees F. until soft. (20-25 minutes.) Peel and place in a standing, tabletop mixture. Whip until smooth. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Add honey, egg, spices and butter. Spread in a deep dish pie plate with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the nuts and sugar over the top. Bake an additional 40 minutes.

Enjoy!
