CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE SYRUP
I created these candied sweet potatoes with maple syrup to entice my young children to eat sweet potatoes. They didn't like them plain and none of us liked recipes using marshmallows, pineapple, etc. This slightly-sweet version fit the bill. The kids are grown-up now, but still request this be served every Thanksgiving.

- Add the marshmallows and pecans to the sweet potato mixture during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help prevent the marshmallows from melting completely.
