    I made this for a pot-luck Thanksgiving. The dish was a huge hit. My cousin said they were the best sweet potatoes she's ever had. She's a vegetarian, so side dishes are very important to her on the holidays, and that's a big compliment coming from her.

    Did not like this recipe at all. It was such a flop with me and my family. First of all I think Yams would have been better than sweet potatoes. The orange juice was way overpowering in the recipe. No matter what we tried to do to tone it down did not work. Sorry Rach..not a hit with us.

    definitely recommend using less oj - we did and even then it was still too orange-y. Thinking of trying it again, though, and adding chopped apple and using honey instead of sugar.

    My husband and I LOVE these! We've been making this dish for years and it's always a hit with guests.

    I tripled recipe for christmas dinner. I substituted maple syrup and reduced OJ to 2/3 amount, but would probably recommend cutting it in half. I also added about 8 shakes of Cayenne for a kick. Needed to boil sweet mixture for more than a minute, for sure!

    I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe for the first time during a Thanksgiving dinner, but I gave it a shot. I read the reviews and used about a third cup less of OJ than the recipe called for. I used a good quality bourbon and let it burn off for a couple minutes longer than recommended. The dish was excellent. Everyone liked it and I will definitely make it again for my immediate family on regular dinner nights. It was a quick, easy and tasty recipe. Rachael Ray came through once again on this one!!

    Good recipe; nice change from the standard, overly sweet dish with marshmallows. Would have used less orange juice next time.

    Took advice of reviewers. Left out the orange, used honey instead of sugar---great taste. But, had flattened a chicken breast and rubbed with orange zest and marinated a while in juice from the orange. Wife was impressed (so was I.
