Caramel-Topped Sweet Potatoes

Scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly with a brush and pat dry. Prick potatoes with a fork. Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 40 to 60 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

For sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in brown sugar and whipping cream. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Serve the sauce warm over the whole baked sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with pecans, if you like. Makes 8 side-dish servings.
