This is a recipe for oranges filled with mashed sweet potatoes.

6 oranges
3 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup butter, softened, divided
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans

Start off by cutting the tops off the oranges, about half an inch off the top should do nicely.   Scoop out the flesh of the orange leaving a nice shell to fill up.  In a mixing bowl mix up the sweet potatoes, orange juice, eggs, vanilla extract, 1/2 cup butter and the grated orange peel.  Fill up the orange shells with the mixture and put them in a deep casserole dish to hold them up.  That was the easy part; now let's really get into the work.  In a small pan combine remaining butter (1/2 cup) with brown sugar, flour and pecans.  Cook this until the sugar dissolves.  Spoon sugary pecan mixture over the filled oranges.  Fill casserole dish with about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom to help the cooking process and prevent burnt orange shells.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
