Joe, I was nominated to bring candied yams to a holiday party and freaked because I had never attempted to make them before. I found your simple and easy to follow recipe and got rave reviews from everyone that ate them! Today I am making my third dish of these delicious yams per special request for yet another holiday get together. Thanks so much for submitting this recipe - it is a favorite with our friends and family!

I have NEVER liked yams/sweet potatoes, but the rest of the family does. I made these last year instead of the normal recipe I use. They looked and smelled so great I had to try them. Long story short... LOVE THIS RECIPE!!

Can I just say that I have never made a sweet potato anything and this came out great and everyone loved it. The only thing next time I'll put a little bit of less sugar, but other than that THANK YOU you saved my life. I'll be trying it again.
