I have all three, and I want to combine them into some kind of casserole for T’giving. (The guys _will_ insist on Middle-America sludge.) Only, my memory is shoddy, and I’m not sure exactly how to go about it. Please advise? Thanks in advance! ---

Sorry. I copied the wrong one. Here’s the one I meant, with all the ingredients you have… PINEAPPLE MARSHMALLOW SWEET POTATOES 2 (16-18 oz.) can sweet potatoes, drained 1 (8 oz.) can juice pack pine apple chunks, drained, reserving juice 30 marshmallows 1/3 c. firmly packed light brown sugar 3 tbsp. butter Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange sweet potatoes and pineapple in 1 1/2 quart shallow baking dish. In medium saucepan, combine reserved juice 10 marshmallows, sugar, and butter. Cook and stir until marshmallows melt; pour over potatoes. Bake 45-50 minutes or until bubbly. Top with remaining marshmallows. Return to oven 5 minutes or until marshmallows are soft and lightly browned. Refrigerate leftovers. ---
