   Our niece, that's living in Louisiana, brought this recipe home for the holidays. She fixed it for Christmas dinner and my hubby's family fell in love with it. I have now stocked up my mother-in-law with the ingredients and expect a full report soon.
   Using canned sweet potatoes makes this easy and the crushed pineapple adds a great balance to the sweet potatoes. Personally, it's the pecans that put this dish right over the top.
