Coconut-Pecan Sweet Potatoes

3 lb sweet potatoes (6 medium)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 1/2 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/3 cup chopped pecans
3 Tbsp flour

1. Heat oven to 350. Grease a 1 1/2 qt baking dish.
2. Pierce potatoes a few times with a knife. Place potatoes on paper towels in microwave. Microwave on high until very soft (about 10 to 15 minutes)
3. When cool enough to handle, slit potatoes and scoop pulp into a bowl. Add orange juice, brown sugar, and 2 Tbsp of the butter. Mash until smooth. Spoon into baking dish.
4. In a small bowl, using your fingers, mix remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp butter, the coconut, pecans, and flour until blended. Sprinkle over top of sweet potatoes.
5. Bake 30 minutes or until topping is lightly browned and potatoes are hot.
