Big hit at Thanksgiving and will be at Christmas, too! Can't count the number of times husband said, "This is really good." as he ate his meal.

I told my sister that I would bring this for Thanksgiving and she said that it sounded so good, that I better make a double batch. Good thing I did! Everyone loved it & there were hardly any leftovers. Since I didn't have pecans, I used walnuts & it was great. Guess what I'm making for Christmas dinner???

It was a big hit at Thanksgiving, and even non-sweet potato eaters loved it! I took the advice of others and double the brown sugar, and was glad I did it! The cranberries add the perfect amount of tartness to go with the sweetness!

The flavors of the cranberries and pecans came through and really set this dish above others that I have tried. We had it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it!

This one's a winner! If your like me and want to try something different this is the one. It's easy and you can prepare it in advance except for the fruit and topping add last, then bake as you would normally.
