I do not have coconut palm sugar. Could I use something else like truvia?
Jennifer, I would use honey if sucanat or coconut palm sugar aren't available.
What is the serving size for this?
Laura, About 2/3 of a cup.
Just made these! Yummy
Thank you! These go on our Thanksgiving table every year!
this is by far the best way i have ever cooked sweet potatos!!..amazing!
Tracy, YEAH!!! My mom will love hearing your feedback. These sweet potatoes go on our table every Thanksgiving and several times throughout the year.
How many servings is this recipe? Since a serving size is 2/3 cup – does this make only 4 servings? Can the recipe be doubled? If so, how long should it cook?
Jody, Yes…it makes about 4. I just made this yesterday and doubled the recipe. You'll need to use a 6 quart slow cooker and the time should remain the same. I'm not exaggerating when I say, "This is my all time favorite sweet potato recipe"! It's always on our Thanksgiving menu.
Thank you!! Yes, I want to make this for Thanksgiving and will need to double the recipe. Sounds so good! Thank you!
I love sweet potatoes and yams. Any recipe that I can find, using either, I have to try. these were awesomely good!
