I use fresh orange juice and less sugar - I made this for my family Christmas and everyone loved it It's a keeper.

I halfed this recipe as I am the only one who eats sweet potatoes. And the orange juice was a little overwhelming. Maybe I measured wrong but next time will use more of the spices and less orange juice.
