Fresh out of college, I got this recipe at my first teaching job down in Fort Myers, Florida back in 1978.

Brandied Orange Sweet Potatoes
6 medium sweet potatoes
1/3 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
1/2 t. salt
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 cup brandy
Scrub potatoes. Place in large saucepan; cover with boiling water; bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender. Drain and let cool. Peel and half lengthwise.
Melt butter in a large skillet. Add brown sugar, orange juice, and salt; bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup gently for 5 mins. Add potatoes, turning carefully to coat with syrup; heat 5 mins. Put in casserole and sprinkle with almonds. Heat brandy gently in a small pan. Light with match; pour flaming over potatoes.
Serves 6.
