My husband loved this. He was wary of it, since he usually likes plain sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar, but said to switch to making this! I boiled sweet potatoes instead of using canned, and I didn't add the cranberries because I thought my kids would shy away if they saw them. It was delicious.

This bombed on Thanksgiving. Most reviews for this recipe said even picky eaters loved this…not at my house! Even my non-picky eaters shied away from this. Everybody was used to candied sweet potatoes…so if you have traditionalist people you are serving keep that in mind if you want to try this

Made this 2006 and 2007 Thanksgivings! Everyone was anxiously waiting to dig in this year! I made without the cranberries and apples...I'm more traditional. But VERY good!

i love this recipe, the yams turn out not too sweet, as they do when you top them with marshmallows. i made it last year for my family for thanksgiving, and everyone wants me to make it again this year.

I made this for Thanksgiving 2005 and everyone loved it so I made it for Christmas too. There was none leftover and I made it last year for both holidays and will again this year.
