Ingredients

6 medium oranges
3 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup orange juice
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
½ teaspoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cut 1/2 inch off one end of each orange and spoon out flesh. Place orange shells into a deep casserole dish.
Mix sweet potatoes, white sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, orange juice, eggs, vanilla, and orange zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into orange shells.
Combine remaining 1/2 cup butter, brown sugar, pecans, and flour in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and butter melts, 3 to 4 minutes; spoon mixture over oranges. Add 1/2 inch water around orange shells in the casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
