HOLIDAY SWEET POTATO, PEACH AND CASHEW BAKE/CASSEROLE



Holiday Sweet Potato, Peach and Cashew Bake/Casserole image

A favorite at our Thanksgiving table every year. Add marshmallows if you like. Versatile recipe- - you can vary the spices and type of nut used. One of my family's favorite variations is cinnamon or allspice in place of the ginger, with a splash of brandy, finely minced orange zest, a few tablespoons peach preserves, and a sprinkling of Sweet & Spicy Pecans, recipe #117774. Adapted from Better Homes and Gardens All-Time Favorite Recipes.

Kittencal's Holiday Sweet Potato Bake With Nut Topping image

This is perfect to serve at your Christmas or Thanksgiving table, and I have done so many times and received rave reviews from all, this has been a long time family favorite and sure to become yours also! For a sweeter taste you may increase the sugar amount in the potato mixture by a few tablespoons or to taste, the sweet potatoes may be baked and the pulp removed up to a day in advance if desired --- two 29-ounce cans sweet potatoes, drained and mashed may be used for this recipe, prep time does not include baking the sweet potatoes.
