Your basting mixture for this recipe is delicious. The sesame oil was the secret I think. I didn't have sherry or apple juice, so I used pineapple juice and it turned out fine. This baste was so good I rubbed it on our steaks! Excellent sweet potatoes.

Excellent sauce, not need to add water. Didn't have sesame oil, so I added sesame seeds instead. Never by looking at the ingredients would I have thought this tasted soooo gooood!!!
