Orange Praline Yams Casserole

In a mixing bowl with electric mixer, beat yams until smooth. Add orange juice and peel, brandy, salt, pepper to taste, ginger, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar and egg yolks, beating until mixture is light and fluffy.

Pour into buttered shallow 2-quart casserole.

In a small bowl combine remaining melted butter, remaining brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon.

Spread evenly over yams (at this point casserole may be refrigerated overnight). Bake at 350° for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Serves 10 to 12.
