  1. This sounded delicious to me, however we apparently don't like molasses. Otherwise the recipe was really easy to make and if you are a molasses fancier then this recipe is for you. Made for Veg 'N Swap #19 tag.
     
  2. I tried this recipe because I never know when the unusual will really wow me, and because I'm brave in the kitchen! I made as directed with molasses. The result was a very dark and pungent dish that didn't get firm; I even tried refrigerating it overnight. While it baked, my DH searched the house to make sure there wasn't something on fire! :0 Thanks, Elmotoo, for a fun afternoon in the kitchen and a chance to try something so very different. Made for Veggie Recipe Swap 43.
     
  3. My whole family liked this one :] I wasn't sure if it would be overly spicy with the 2 tsp. of ginger but it added just the right amount. Used a dark 9" square pan and cooked exactly like you indicated, but the pone turned a dark color. Cut this into 9 side servings and everyone enjoyed. Made for V*gan Recipe Swap November 2008. Great Thanksgiving Day side as well.
     
  4. Most of the time, if it involves sweet potatoes (or yams, in my book!), I'd like to try it! I did use the darker yams & the lighter molasses, & when done I cut it into 36 taste-tester helpings, & laid them out for a group I host ~ Devoured in no time & enjoyed by all! Thanks so much for a great treat! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my vegan partners in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 3]
