APRICOT-PECAN SWEET POTATOES
This is a wonderful sweet potato recipe with a little bit of preparation. You can use orange juice in place of the apricot nectar, which can be a little hard to find -- but the result is different and really makes the sweet potato pop! This is a recipe my Aunt Birdie gave me about ten years ago

SWEET POTATOES (YAMS ) WITH APRICOTS
From the San Antonio, TX, Junior League cookbook called "Flavors" posted by Mrs. Sallie Riester. It sounds like an easy recipe since it uses canned yams and apricots. The note by the chef stated: To double the recipe you need only 1 1/2 of the sauce to twice the amount of potatoes, apricots and pecans. This is Mrs. Riester's Mom's recipe.

APRICOT YAMS
I believe this recipe came from a "Southern Living" cookbook. Everyone raved over the taste. It's a great recipe for the holiday season. The yams I used were huge, so I adjusted the portion size. You could probably stretch this out even further as a side dish with all the other foods you will be serving.
