I usually serve this as a side dish with poultry or pork. As the wonderful aroma wafts through the house, I'm always asked, "Is dinner ready yet?" So don't be surprised if your gang comes to the table extra-hungry.

This was delicious! Although, the flavour was slightly more acidic than I'd have liked. I'll make it again some other time, I think.

This recipe is delicious, and one that will be on my Christmas menu as well. I usually make a sweet potato casserole that my family loves, but decided to try something different. I'M SO GLAD I TRIED THIS! Not only is it absolutely yummy, it's super easy to make as well.
