Yam/SweetPotato Casserole

This is a family tradition, that my mom has made for years, but over the years me and my dad (picky eaters we are) have slowly replaced the fat with alternatives, and I think its just as tasty!

4 large Sweet Potatoes
1/4 c.. Agave Nectar
1/2 c. Soy or Rice Milk
½ c Applesauce
1/2 orange, juice and rind
¼ tsp. cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake sweet potatoes
2. Peel the sweet potatoes and place in a large bowl (or kitchen aid.)
(It may be best to do this in 2 batches)
3. Add agave nectar, ASauce, cinn. & milk to the potatoes and stir. Grate half an orange peel and squeeze half the juice into the mix. stir all together.


Topping:
Use about ¼ cup A Sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 tbs maple syprup and 1 cup pecan pieces
Mix everything except nuts, Stir over a low heat in saucepan until b. sugar has dissolved, than add pecans and spread evenly over potato mixture in a casserole dish.
Bake 350 for about 20-30 minutes.
