"From Country Living. Chopped pecans can be toasted in an iron skillet, over medium heat, constantly stirring until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. (Original recipe did not call for pecans.) The glazed sweet potatoes may be cooked in advance, stored in the refrigerator, and reheated in a warm oven."

This is a delicious recipe that we really enjoyed. I didn't add the pecans. It is so easy and minds itself while baking. I was a bit light on the sugar but otherwise followed the recipe just cutting it in half. I'll be making this recipe again & again.

I used smaller sweet potatoes, what I eye-estimated to be about 3 medium, and used a smaller glass pan. I love the zippy sweet flavor. The glaze didn't thicken quite as much as I expected but the flavor was still wonderful. I imagine some longer baking time will solve that, especially reheating my leftovers. Thanks for sharing!
