This was okay. We like sweet potatoes, we like bananas but we just dont like the combo of the two. I made as directed. Looked beautiful in the dish. Super easy to make. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for PAC Fall 2009

For those who really care about the difference, I did use yams when making this recipe, & instead of peeling them (since I like to include that part as well), I diced the yams fine, making sure all the peel was in SMALL pieces! Also used dark brown sugar since I like the slightly stronger taste of the molasses! The final dish was ABSOLUTELY GREAT & was enjoyed by all! Thanks for sharing!
