INSTRUCTIONS
TOPPING
Here'a recipe I like and I'm not big on sweet potatoes. It comes from the
cookbook, Lean and Luscious and Meatless by Bobbi Hinman and Millie Snyder.
These delicious pineapple-flavored sweet potatoes can be stuffed a day
ahead and baked when needed.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees> Prick sweet potatoes several times with a
sharp knife and bake them 45 minutes, or until tender.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the pulp with a spoon,
leaving a 1/4" shell. In a medium bowl, combine potato pulp with crushed
pineapple, vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix with a fork until well
blended. Divide mixture evenly and fill the potato shells, smoothing the
tops with the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle with pecan (if desired), pressing them gently into the potatoes.
combine wheat germ and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over potatoes.
Place potatoes in a shallow baking pan. Bake 15 minutes.
