Recommended Products

1) Preheat oven to 375 F or 180C

2) Roast sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for 50 mins - 1 hour, until soft.

3) Remove from oven and let it cool for at least 20 mins.

4) When cooled, peel sweet potatoes by hand and put the potatoes in a mixing bowl.

5) Add lemon zest and juice, maple syrup to the mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to mix well.

6) In a small saucepan, over high heat, add bourbon. Let it come to a boil and till the saucepan slightly towards you to set it a flame. This method will not "burn off" the alcohol.

7) Add bourbon and butter to sweet potatoes. Add some salt and pepper to taste.

8) Transfer potatoes to a casserole dish. Sprinkle pecans on top. Bake for 20 mins till the top is golden brown.
