1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Halve oranges and scoop pulp into a bowl.

Reserve pulp for another use (such as Fresh Cranberry-Orange Relish, recipe included in this cookbook).

2. Peel and slice sweet potatoes. Steam until soft (about 15 minutes). Mash in a large bowl with egg, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon peel.

3. Spoon puree into orange baskets, dividing equally. Set on a large baking sheet and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Bake for 25 minutes.

Note: To save time, assemble this side dish in advance and freeze before baking. There is no need to thaw the puree before baking; just add 15 minutes to baking time.
