1 cup orange juice
1 cup of water
3 cups of lightly packed brown sugar
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of bourbon
1 cup of roasted pecans
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of brandy (optional add it too taste)
4-6 medium sizeds weet potatoes (peeled and cut into chucks)

Pre heat the oven to 450 degree. Over high heat combine 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup of water, 3 cups of lightly packed brown sugar, 1 stick of butter. Let the the mixture come to a simmer (it will get kind of thick) and add the potatoes and bourbon.  Let the mixture simmer stirring every 1-2 mins for 15-24 mins or until the potatoes are slightly tender. Then in a flat casserole dish line the bottom of the dish with 1/2 cup of the roasted pecans. Spoon the  potatoes on the dish and pour the syrup on to the potatoes.  Squeeze a VERY small amount of fresh lemon juice on the the potatoes. Place the potatoes in the oven. Cook for 30 mins or until tender. Garnish the rest of the roasted pecans on to the potatoes and serve.

I'm new to this...please be gentle. Tell me what you think.  My family enjoyed it, but I don't mind constructive criticism. If you try it and have some questions tell me.
