Now was this dessert or a side? Oh who care either way it was great! LOL This was very good. I did use fresh sweet potato not canned. I went to get the OJ out of the fridge and it was gone so the citrus juice and zest was from fresh lime. Use a lot less juice. And skipped the cornstarch. I also topped it with chopped crystallized ginger. As you see in the picture it glazed over very nicely. Thanks Paula for posting this delish recipe. Sooo very good.

I loved this refreshing change from the very sugary sweet potato recipes! My hubby (Mr Sweet Tooth) prefers the latter. I cut fresh yams into chunks, boiled for about 15 minutes, then followed your instructions - served with Potatoes Savyard (#61710) & grilled steak. Thanx Paula!

These sweet potatoes were very good served with grilled pork chops. They had a nice glaze and we really enjoyed the subtle vanilla taste along with the orange. Thanks for sharing!

This was outstanding! I was looking for a recipe similiar to my mother-in-laws' candied yams and this is it. I also like that this isn't drowning in sugar, butter and marshmallows. I did make a few changes: I omitted the vanilla and used lemon zest instead of orange. I love the tang of lemon and used a vegetable peeler and put 4 strips of zest when I put it in the oven. Thanks for a fantastic recipe.

I used the freshly cooked sweet potatoes option. The potatoes came out very soft and looked nice as they came out of the oven, with a lovely scent. The orange flavor, for us, was very pronounced and seemed too overwhelm the dish, even though we love orange. This is also very sweet, I would reduce the sugar and the orange flavors a bit next time.
