MIMI'S SWEET POTATOES IN ORANGE CUPS
My mother made these every year for the holidays. I have made them for a church fellowship dinner, using 100 oranges. They were a big hit! Little kids can hold them in their hands and walk around without spilling. You can prepare this up to three days ahead of time and it travels well. There's an extra bonus: The orange sections can be used for making delicious ambrosia.

SWEET POTATOES IN ORANGE CUPS
I made these for a recent "kid's dinner party" that my friends and I do every week and I can't even tell you how hard I laughed when I pulled these sweet potatoes out of the oven and three of the kids simultaneously yelled "cupcakes"! No matter what we said they decided the orange and white "cupcakes" were a holiday treat and scarfed them down. These heavenly treats only take minutes to prepare, and they made quite a visual and edible impact on the kids and adults alike.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Poke the yams several times with a fork or knife to pierce the skin. Place on foil or a baking sheet in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
- Let the yams cool for several minutes, then cut in half and scoop out the fluffy insides into a large bowl (I love eating the high fiber skin as a snack). Mash the yams with the butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, evaporated milk and salt until creamy and fluffy.
- Cut the oranges in half and slice a very thin disk from the bottom so they rest flat; the skins are going to be the "bowls." With a paring knife cut around the inside rim of the orange removing the orange sections and pulp. Place any of the orange juice and pulp in a bowl and discard the white membranes and seeds. Save the juice and pulp for a cranberry sauce recipe or just enjoy as a snack.
- Fill each orange cup with 1/4 cup of puree and top with several mini marshmallows (you can cover and refrigerate these overnight).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the orange cups on a baking sheet and bake until the marshmallows are golden, 20 to 25 minutes (see Cook's Note). Serve.
