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

I tried this recipe for the first time yesterday (Thanksgiving). I used fresh sweet potatoes and doubled the glaze recipe. Super easy and a big hit around our holiday table. Note: I also used 100% pure Maple syrup.

Very good. The hint of cinnamon was amazing in it as well. I used canned sweet potatoes and it was a hit for thanksgiving.

I made this recipe tonight, and it is yummy. I would definitely make this again. Maybe I will use the glaze for a ham.

Maple glaze was really good - would make a great pie! If making as side dish, I would chop sweet potatoes into much smaller hunks and make a little more glaze to coat them better.

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.

This has become a necessary part of our holiday meals. I won't eat sweet potatoes any other way!

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!
