Sweet Potato Balls

3 cups cooked yams, mashed Grated coconut (or toasted) 2 Tabl butter, softened Chopped pecans ½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed (Greg mixed them and then had some of each kind) 1 Tabl pineapple or orange juice 10-12 large marshmallows

Mix yams, butter, sugar and juice well with electric mixer. Form a ball by scooping a heaping tablespoon of the mixture in your hand, then nesting a marshmallow in the mixture. Place another spoonful of the yam mixture over the marshmallow so that the marshmallow is completely covered. Gently roll in your choice of coconut or nuts.

Bake at 325 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes or just long enough to melt the marshmallow.

Makes 10 – 12 servings.
