Strange name, huh? Ever since I made this the first time 15 years ago, my family insists it’s on the table every Thanksgiving and Christmas. So there ya have it, I’m being haunted.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the sweet potatoes:
Drain pineapple reserving the juice. Set the pineapple aside. Mix the juice with the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, melted butter,vanilla, 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice and the Saigon cinnamon.
Pour into lightly greased 2 quart baking dish. Top with crushed pineapple.
For the glaze:
Mix the brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and the remaining teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat, just until sugar dissolves then add in pecans or walnuts.
Spoon over sweet potato and pineapple mixture and sprinkle lightly with about 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Bake 35-45 minutes until lightly browned and heated through.
To save time you can make this a few days in advance, and freeze it. Just pull it from the freezer to thaw about 2 hours before cooking . (I use an aluminum foil baking pan.)
