Fresh sweet potatoes Mom grew disappeared fast at our family table when she served them with this easy, flavorful glaze. She still makes them this way, and now they've become favorites with her grandchildren as well! —Rosemary Pryor, Pasadena, Maryland

We had our family Thanksgiving tonight and made this recipe using the canned sweet potatoes. I used two 29oz. cans and doubled the glaze recipe. There was enough glaze to have used 2 40 oz. cans like keynote said. The recipe is great and everyone liked it. Will be making this again and again.

My husband said that this tasted like his mom's sweet potatoes. I do not like sweet potatoes, but I was able to eat a few of these. He says that he would like marshmallows on it.

My family thinks these are almost as good as pumpkin pie!

I like how easy this is!

I double the ingredients for the "syrup." It disappears!
