Sweet Potato Casserole

From EatingWell: Fall 2004, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)

This scrumptious sweet potato casserole gets fabulous flavor from honey and freshly grated orange zest rather than the traditional stick of butter. To complete the healthy makeover we sprinkle a crunchy pecan streusel spiked with orange juice concentrate over the top. You can save the marshmallows for s'mores.

I made this last year and it was an immediate "classic". Easy and not loaded down with disgusting amounts of marshmallows, maple syrup and other sickeningly sweet things people do to perfectly innocent yams. If you like light and flavorful with a great pecan crunch on top, this is for you.

I made this for 20 family members last Thanksgiving and everyone LOVED it...so easy, low fat and tastes delicious! I just spent 35 minutes searching online to re-find this recipe, that's how much I loved it!

Nice consistancy, but I might try to do it differently next time. I wasn't crazy about the orange flavor, so maybe I would add some fresh grated ginger in lieu of the zest and skip the juice concentrate altogether. I may add some cinnamon and cardamom as well to the mix and topping. Also I am thinking if the potatos were oven baked and than pureed in a processor instead to boiled, they would retain more of their natural syrupy goodness and you wouldn't really need to add honey.
