Sweet Potato Praline Souffle yields 12 servings


6 pounds sweet potatoes


1 tablespoon cane syrup


1/3 cup non-fat sweetened condensed milk


2 sticks butter, softened


2 tablespoons light brown sugar


1/2 orange, juiced


1 lemon, zested


1/2 lemon, juiced


1/4 teaspoon cinnamon sugar


Pinch ground nutmeg


1 cup raisins


2 cups pecans, chopped


8 ounces (about 6) large pralines, broken


Italian Meringue, recipe below





Bake sweet potatoes in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour until fork tender. Remove peels. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine potatoes, cane syrup, condensed milk, butter and brown sugar. Add the orange juice, lemon zest and juice. Blend thoroughly with the paddle attachment until smooth. Sprinkle in the cinnamon sugar, nutmeg, raisins and pecans. Finally, remove the bowl from the mixer and add the pralines; fold gently through the mixture.


Transfer mixture to a 2 1/2 quart glass baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Top with meringue. Return to oven and broil 7 minutes until the meringue is golden brown.





Italian Meringue


1 cup superfine sugar


1/3 cup water


5 egg whites, at room temperature


1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar





In a small pot over low heat, combine sugar and water. Swirl the pot over the burner to dissolve the sugar completely. Do not stir. Increase the heat and boil to soft-ball stage (235 to 240 degrees). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy. Wash down the inside wall of the pot with a wet pastry brush. This will help prevent sugar crystals from forming around the sides, falling in and causing a chain reaction. Prepare your meringue.


In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the eggs whites on low speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar, increase the speed to medium, and beat until soft peaks form.





With the mixer running, pour the hot sugar syrup in a thin stream over fluffed egg whites. Beat until the egg whites are stiff and glossy. Spread the meringue over a hot cake or pie, and bake as directed.
Thanksgiving Sweet Potato Souffle





3 cup Cooked sweet potatoes, mashed


1 cup White sugar


3 x Eggs, slightly beaten


1/2 cup Milk


1 stk margarine, softened


1 tbl Vanilla


1 tsp Baking powder


TOPPING


1 cup Brown sugar


1/2 cup Flour


1/2 tsp Baking powder


1/2 stk margarine, melted


2 tbl Milk


1 cup Chopped pecans





Mix all topping ingredients. Cut 2 pieces of waxed paper larger than the top of your baking dish. On one piece, place the baking dish upside down.


With a table knife trace around the dish to get approximate size of baking dish top. Place mixed topping ingredients in the center of this shape.


Place the second piece of waxed paper over the topping to the drawn shape.


Use a rolling pin to spread the topping to the drawn shape. (Remeber to take into account if your dish flares at the top a little. You want the topping to be able to go down into the dish to set on top of the mashed potato mixture. Also, be careful not to roll the topping mixture too large, as it will be frozen when you attempt to lay it on top of the potato mixture.)


When size is accomplished and with waxed paper still intact, slide topping onto a cookie sheet and place in freezer for 15 minutes or more to harden.


(This can be done the day before.) When ready, take from freezer.


Combine mashed sweet potatoes, white sugar, beaten eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 stick softened margarine, vanilla and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Pour into greased baking dish deep enough to have room for sweet potatoes to ';puff';


up. A 9 inch diameter baking dish works nicely.


Starting at one corner of top piece of waxed paper on frozen topping, carefully pull paper from topping. Gently turn topping over onto the sweet potato mixture and again pull wax paper from topping. Make certain that topping goes to edges of baking dish as much as possible.


Bake approximately 30 minutes (somewhat more) at 350 degrees.

    To get a more buttery taste, of course, add more butter. I usually use around 2 1/2 sticks.
