  • Today is Thanksgiving and as I was flipping through recipes for yams, I came across this one. What a nice blend..even had to run to the store for OJ.....the yams are in the oven as I write this. The sauce is delicious...... I topped it with pecans. Thanks and happy turkey day! - 11/25/10

  • Okay I have a question can you use Splenda in stead of the white sugar and the Splenda Brown sugar blend? - 8/31/10

  • I think at some point the syrup in the sauce pan has to be added to the sweet potatoes. I use a recipe like this and it is always so good - 12/26/09
