Sweet Yams In Orange Liqueur Recipes

MASHED YAMS IN ORANGE CUPS

Steps:

• Pierce each yam all over with fork. Working in 2 batches, cook yams in microwave 15 minutes. Turn yams over; cook until tender, about 12 minutes longer. Cut yams in half; scoop pulp into bowl. Add 3/4 cup marshmallow creme, butter, and syrup; mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in eggs. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut thin slice from top and bottom of each orange to make flat surfaces. Cut oranges in half. Scoop out pulp; reserve for another use. Place orange cups on 2 baking sheets. Divide yam mixture equally among cups. Top each with dollop of marshmallow creme and 2 pecan halves. Bake until beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.

ORANGE LIQUEUR YAMS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Scrub and dry the potatoes, then prick several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove and allow to cool briefly.
• Cut the ends off the yams and discard; transfer the yams to a large bowl. Add the honey, melted butter, cardamom, cinnamon, tangerine juice, and orange liqueur to the yams. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer until combined.

HOMEMADE ORANGE LIQUEUR RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from two navel oranges.
• In a 1-quart jar, add the vodka, fresh orange peel, and dried bitter orange peel. Seal, shake well, and let infuse in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks (or up to 1 month), shaking the jar every day or two.
• The day the infusion is complete, make a rich simple syrup: Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir in the sugar until completely dissolved and the syrup is clear. Reduce to a simmer. After 5 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let cool completely.
• Strain the orange peels from the vodka using a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth.
• Rinse out the infusion jar and use it to blend the orange liqueur by adding 3/4 cup of the simple syrup to the orange-infused vodka. Shake very well for at least 30 seconds. Taste the liqueur and add more syrup to sweeten to taste.
• Transfer the orange liqueur to a bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid and use in your favorite cocktail recipes.
