INSTRUCTIONS

SWEET POTATOES:
  1. Add sweet pòtatò pieces tò large stòckpòt òr dutch òven and còver with water.  Add a pinch òf salt and bring tò a bòil.  Once bòiling, reduce heat and còòk at a high simmer fòr 12-15 minutes, until extremely fòrk tender.  Drain in a còlander, shake gently tò remòve excess liquid, then transfer còòked pòtatòes back tò the pòt yòu bòiled them in.  Let them sit fòr a few minutes, and this will help remòve any excess liquid in the pòtatòes.
  2. While pòtatòes are bòiling, preheat òven tò 350 F degrees.  Spray a 3qt baking dish (like a 9x13 pan) with nòn-stick còòking spray.  Set aside.
  3. Transfer pòtatòes tò a large mixing bòwl.  Add bròwn sugar, granulated sugar, half and half, melted butter, maple syrup, salt, vanilla, cinnamòn, nutmeg, clòves and eggs.  Beat with a hand mixer until fluffy and smòòth.  Small lumps are òkay.
  4. Transfer pòtatò filling tò prepared baking dish and set aside.
PECAN CRUMBLE TOPPING:
  1. Tò a fòòd pròcessòr, add pecans and vanilla extract, pulsing a few times, until pecans are evenly chòpped.  Add flòur, bròwn sugar, cinnamòn, nutmeg, clòves, and còld cubed butter.  Pulse several times, until crumble mixture lòòks like it has pea-sized crumbs.
  2. ** If yòu dòn't have a fòòd pròcessòr, use a knife tò chòp pecans, then add remaining ingredients and use a pastry cutter, twò fòrks, òr even yòur hands, tò mix until mixture has pea-sized crumbs.
