This is a great side dish at the holiday table, but my family likes this any time of year! The sweet orange and brown sugar go perfectly with the sweet potatoes.
Place washed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet; prick each potato with a fork. Bake at 450 degrees for 45 minutes or until almost tender. Let potatoes cool to the touch.
Peel potatoes, and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange potato slices in a lightly greased 13 x 9 baking dish or round 3 qt casserole. Top with pecan halves.
Combine orange juice and next 4 ingredients in a small saucepan, stirring well. Bring glaze mixture to a boil; boil 1 minute or until thickened and bubbly. Stir in vanilla. Pour or spoon orange glaze over sweet potato slices.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes or until glaze is thickened.
Make Ahead: After baked sweet potatoes have cooled, cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. The next day, peel and slice potatoes, and let come to room temperature before baking as directed above.
