When the sweet potatoes really become very plentiful, that is the time I really expand my recipe "book". My whole family loves them and I have not found a recipe we did not like. Of course there are a few that we love more than the others and this one looks like it will rank up pretty in the list.

During Thanksgiving, we usually have some sort of sweet potato recipe. For the most part, yams. There is a new way to prepare the come to expect side dish. Sounds delicious.

What is Xagave, please? Here in the UK we do not have that. Is it artificial sweetner? We do have Splenda, Hermestatas, Canderal. Advice please.
