| Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place sweet potatoes in a baking pan and bake until all potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Butter an 8x8 inch square glass baking dish. Scrap the sweet potatoe from the skins into a large bowl and mash. Add orange juice, eggs, melted butter, sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon and the nutmeg. Beat until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and spoon into the baking dish. |
| For the topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and the remaining cinnamon. Add room temperature butter and cut in until mixture resembles course crumbles. Add chopped pecans. Sprinkle the pecan topping over the potatoes. Bake until sweet potatoes are hot and pecan topping is dry (about 30 minutes). Server warm. |
