2 cups sweet potatoes leftover roasted or boiled
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup pecan halves toasted

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse the first 9 ingredients until smooth. Butter six 4-ounce ramekins. Divide sweet-potato mixture among ramekins; place on a baking sheet and bake until golden and slightly puffed up, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, cook 1/4 cup water and granulated sugar until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes; do not stir. Increase heat to medium-high and boil, without stirring, until syrup becomes a deep-amber color, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cream. Stir in butter and sea salt. Add pecans and stir to coat. Let cool for 10 minutes.
3
To serve, top each spoon bread with 1/6 cup of the salted-caramel pecans.
