Well orchestrated side dish! I prepped it the night before and put them in the pot at the same time I put the turkey in the oven. (4AM - yawn...) I liked the change from the usual _so-syrupy-sweet-that-your-teeth-ache_ yams. I used unsweetened applesauce and perhaps should have bumped up the sugar amount some to compensate. Next time ... Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This was really good. I did not add nuts and used 1/2 as much splenda brown sugar instead of regular. My guests loved it and it took up no oven space.
