Sweet Potato Casserole with Bourbon and Pineapple Enlarge Image Credit: Anna Stockwell
SERVES 12-16
INGREDIENTS
5½ lb. sweet potatoes
½ cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup bourbon
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1½ tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
½ tsp. ground allspice
½ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
½ tsp. ground black pepper
2 eggs
1 (8-oz.) can crushed pineapple
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 egg whites

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°. Place potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet; bake until tender, about 1½ hours. Peel and transfer to a food processor along with brown sugar, bourbon, butter, 1 tsp. salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, pepper, eggs, and pineapple; puree. Transfer to a 9" x 13" baking dish; bake until heated through, about 25 minutes.
  • While casserole bakes, bring sugar, and ¼ cup water to a boil in a 1-qt. saucepan over high heat; attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, and cook, without stirring, until syrup reaches 250°. Meanwhile, place remaining salt, vanilla, and egg whites in a large bowl; beat on medium-high speed of a hand mixer until soft peaks form. While beating, slowly drizzle in hot syrup, and beat until meringue is thickened and cooled.
  • Heat broiler to high. Spread meringue over casserole; broil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
