I'm allergic to pecans, so I used walnuts instead. They were still delicious.

I made these sweet potatoes in the microwave and they turned out great! They were just as good as the ones I've made in the oven.

The pecans burned in the oven. I should have taken them out sooner.

These sweet potatoes were too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with less raisins.
