MIMI'S SWEET POTATOES IN ORANGE CUPS



Mimi's Sweet Potatoes in Orange Cups image

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.
