Holiday Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries

I tried this dish for Thanksgiving and used fresh cranberries instead of frozen. It was great. It had wonderful flavor. Definitely would make this again. Everyone was asking where I got the recipe. Thanks for a great holiday dish!

Very Satisfying

I recently made this dish and it was so very good! Not having maple syrup, I substituted a sugar free maple flavored pancake syrup and the dish was still just absolutely divine! If you haven't tried this one you should.

holiday potatoes

these were a wonderful change from the typical marshmallow topped version. I personally loved the tangy cranberries and the apricot taste.

Sweet potatoes with cranberries

I liked this recipe very much, and so did everyone at my Thanksgiving table. It was easy to make and tasted delicious. It had a subtle sweetness without being heavy. I used fresh cranberries instead of frozen and pure maple syrup. I also put some vegetable oil on the raw pecans and toasted them in the oven with the turkey for about 10 minutes. I got nothing but rave reviews from my guests. Thank you for an original and tasty meal.
