  1. It was the appeal of pecans and sherry that attracted me to this recipe, which I opted to try for Thanksgiving this year. BIG MISTAKE! The overwhelming orange flavor of this dish (an entire rind, plus juice!) made it completely unpalatable. Perhaps this should be called "Glaze a l'Orange -- Yams Optional."
     
  2. I liked this a lot. I was apprehensive about he amount of orange juice and rind after the not so great review, but we thought it was wonderful.
