Reviews
This is soooo good and very easy too! I did not add pepper, based on the recommendation of another reviewer. I had fresh juicy Georgia peaches on hand, so I used two peaches and held them over the bowl while I peeled and sliced them so the juice would run into the bowl. I did not add any liquid besides that, and the dish was plenty moist. I did what someone else recommended and just mixed all the ingredients together. While mixing, the sweet potatoes pretty much fell apart almost like they were mashed, and the consistency was very nice. Will definitely make this recipe again!
This was easy and inexpensive to make but the addition of pepper practically ruined it. I should have trusted my instincts and left it out. I will make this again without the pepper.
OMG this was a HIT at our house this Christmas
I will for sure make this again….very good indeed!
I enjoyed this. Very easy and quick to make. I will make this again.
This was good. It has a nice fresh taste. The problem was I made it for Thanksgiving and it missed the mark on the home/comfort style food that was all around. Maybe on Christmas next year.
I made it except left out nuts as I’m allergic to them. Still turned out great. Will make it again.
I liked this recipe very much, a nice change from regular candied sweet potatoes. I used fresh sweet potatoes (in place of canned) and walnuts in place of pecans.
Very good. Husband loved it. I only used 1/4 cup of peach juice as that was what I drained from the peaches. There was more than enough moisture. Also, rather than mix brown sugar and pecans and sprinkle over top, I mixed in with yams and peaches. Therefore there was no need to garnish top with peaches. Peaches were visible all over.
Very good and easy. The yams and peaches are very complementary in flavor. Will make again.
