Jodie Fosters Orange Cups

Category: Appetizers

Cuisine: American

Ready in 30 minutes

Ingredients

6 Navel oranges; cut in half

3 ds Ground nutmeg more or less

1 Butter

Brown sugar

3 ds Ground cloves more or less

Grand Marnier liqueur

salt and pepper to taste

12 Pecans to garnish

7 Yams or sweet potatoes, (up to 8)


Directions

Scoop out all the orange pulp and squeeze the juice. Save the juice but not the pulp. Boil potatoes until soft and ready to mash. (We boiled, then peeled.) Strain potatoes, add butter, and mash. Add juice (we used 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) and liqueur to taste (we used 1 tablespoon). Mix with electric beater until consistency is of soft mashed potatoes. Add cloves (next time, well leave this out), nutmeg, salt and pepper. You can even add a little brown sugar if it tastes too tart (we used 3/4 cup). Scoop the mixture into orange cups. Dot the top with a pecan. Orange cups can be made a couple of days early. Just keep then refrigerated. When ready to serve, heat in a baking dish at 325 degrees until warmed. Makes 12 servings.
