This recipe is easy, tastes wonderful and looks so festive. I will be making this again for sure. I used dried apricots instead of canned. I cut the recipe back to 1 can of sweet potatoes. Be careful how much sugar you use - I used brown sugar splenda. I was generous with the raisins. Thanks Christianna for a lovely side dish recipe that will appear on my table for many special occasions
