This was very good. I was looking for a different vegetable side for my ham dinner tonight and remembered I had seen this one. It went perfectly with my maple- and brown sugar-glazed ham. The seasonings could probably be changed as well. I'm thinking I might try a little cinnamon and nutmeg next time.
