Baked Gingered Sweet Potato Casserole
4 cups of cooked mashed sweet potatoes
1/2 cup of unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup of brown sugar
4 tablespoons of molasses
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Wash and prick sweet potatoes with a fork. Place on a sheet tray at 475 for 1 hour until potatoes look shrivelled and soft. Let cool, peel and scrape sweet potatoes in a bowl. Add melted butter, sugar and spices. Use a hand mixer to combine. In a different bowl beat eggs and cream together until frothy then pour into potato mixture and mix together. Pour everything into a buttered pyrex dish. Cover with foil and cook in oven at 350 for 40 minutes. Uncover sprinkle with praline topping and cook for 20 more minutes until bubbly and browned on top.
Pecan Topping
1 cup of pecans chopped
1/2 stick of butter
2 tablespoons of chopped candied ginger

In a non-stick pan melt the butter and add the pecans tossing to keep from sticking. Add sugar, ginger and spices and keep stirring until pecans start to brown. Taste for salt, sugar, spice. You want a nice balance between all of it.
