SLOW-COOKER PINEAPPLE SWEET POTATOES

Slow-Cooker Pineapple Sweet Potatoes image

Pineapple and pecans make a pretty topping for this no-fuss side dish. It's light, tasty and not too sweet. Making it in the slow cooker leaves extra space in the oven when preparing a holiday turkey and other dishes. -Bette Filcher, Lexington, Texas
