The sauce on these sweet potatoes is absolutely delicious! I halved the recipe and it was enough for five people as a side. The only disappointing thing was that the potatoes were not 'glazed'. After I microwaved them for the first 10 minutes there was a lot of water at the bottom of the dish but I added the cranberry mixture anyway. This was a mistake; I should have DRAINED the potatoes first. I highly recommend you do this and it will come out great!
