Candied Sweet Potatoes with Maple Syrup Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Candied Sweet Potatoes with Maple Syrup Recipe). 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.
