MIMI'S SWEET POTATOES IN ORANGE CUPS
My mother made these every year for the holidays. I have made them for a church fellowship dinner, using 100 oranges. They were a big hit! Little kids can hold them in their hands and walk around without spilling. You can prepare this up to three days ahead of time and it travels well. There's an extra bonus: The orange sections can be used for making delicious ambrosia.

- Cook the sweet potatoes until they're tender: To ensure the sweet potatoes are cooked through, bake them for at least 45 minutes or until a fork can easily pierce through them.
- Use a sharp knife to score the sweet potatoes: This will help the orange juice and butter to penetrate the sweet potatoes and create a flavorful dish.
