My family's recipe. I don't remember a holiday as a kid that this dish was not served. It's just not Thanksgiving or Christmas without Candied Sweet Potatoes.

5-6 large sweet potaotes
1 20 oz can, crushed pineapple
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon
couple dash(es) nutmeg
1 pinch allspice
1 orange, zested
1 - 1 1/2 c packed, brown sugar
1 large bag, marshmallows (large or minature) just be careful if too many are added to top of sweet potatoes they will overflow into oven.

Spoon crushed pineapple over brown sugar. Place in oven and bake until edges of pineapple begin to brown. Remove from oven and cover top with marshmallows. Return to oven and bake until marshmallows begin to brown. Keep an eye on marshmallows, as they will burn easily.

These candied sweet potatoes were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The pineapple added a nice sweetness and tanginess, and the pecans gave them a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making these again.
