I made this recipe for my in laws...they loved it! I used canned sweet potatoes instead of fresh and it still came out great! Will make this again!

I had made this recipe at Thanksgiving last year, and while everyone raved about it, I thought it was okay. This year, I made it again, as so many people liked it, but made some modifications. I bought fresh cranberries a couple of weeks ahead of time and froze them. So, when the dish was ready to eat, the cranberries were softer, and seemed to be sweeter. Also, since dinner was at my sister's house, I made it the night before, and assembled everything, so all we had to do was pop it in the oven. I think the sitting overnight in the orange juice really helped to flavor it a bit more. I loved it this year! I also used pecans vs. the walnuts because I hate walnuts, and I ran them thru the food processor to chop them up pretty fine. A great recipe, I just made some minor adjustments for my taste.

I made this last year and my family really liked it! They requested I make it again this yr for thanksgiving. The balance of sweet and tart in this dish is what makes it a winner.

This was a unique addition to our Christmas dinner and it was a hit. The flavors added a neat change to the usual sweet potato casserole people usually bring. I wasn't able to use the walnuts due to family allergies to nuts, but it was still good.

I'm so sorry to say, as this is my first negative review, that this was just beautiful in appearance but not to the palate. This was almost tasteless and nary a comment from my large Christmas crowd. I'm glad others have had good experiences with this. However, it did not go over well with any of us here.

I served this at Thanksgiving. It was a lot of work, but everyone said that the combination of sweet potatoes and cranberries was a wonderful combination. Also, this dish is not too sweet and dessert-like, as sweet potato dishes tend to be.

My family loved this recipe with our Christmas dinner. The tart cranberries were a nice compliment to the sweetness of the dish. A nice change of pace from the usual too sweet sidedishes containing sweet potatoes. It was a plus that it looked very pretty on the holiday table with the red cranberries.

THE BEST EVER! I loooooved this dish as did my family and friends. I love sweet potatoes and don't like the typical mashed casserole types of dishes. This was an excellent alternative! The cranberries are a perfect blend of tartness to the sweetness of the other ingredients. Will make over and over and over and over again!

Oh my - deeelish. I did the crock pot, simply because the ham was in the oven, not enough space. 3 1/2 hrs on high, 10 min. with the topping. REALLY GOOD. I think it would be better in the oven, as there was some juice & the topping didn't, of course, get browned. But it was still very good. My husband doesn't care for sweet potatoes & I don't care for cranberries & we both really enjoyed it. Even my picky toddler ate it up. It got raves all around - will definitely make again!

A nice trist to the classic sweet potatoes w/ brown sugar and marshmallows. The cranberries added tartness to the sweet potatoes and accompanied the turkey nicely. I added a bit more butter and some maple syrup to the recipe to beef up the sauce a little bit. Yum!

I made this exactly as it is written. I thought that this was very delicious and festive. So different from the traditional, sugary, sweet potato goop that my husband prefers. He liked it but prefers sugary goop. I loved it and am writing the review so I can give it the rating. If I have to cook sweet potatoes next time then this is what he is getting. It's healthier for him.

Through the years, I have made many different sweet potato recipes, especially for the holidays. This recipe, is by far the best one yet! It has the PERFECT balance...not too sweet like many sweet potato recipes, and just the right amount of tartness. The orange juice also lends a refreshing taste. The only thing I added to this recipe was a little orange zest. This recipe will be part of my recipe collection!

My friend always invites me over to their house for Thanksgiving but asks me to bring something healthy. I substituted Splenda Brown Sugar - no one even noticed. Also, since my friend did not have room in her oven, I used the slow cooker for 2 hours instead of baking it. Turned out well!
