Cider Glazed Sweet Potatoes With Cranberries
Though i am not diabetic, the emphasis on lower sugar and higer fiber recipes suits my own tastes. this is an adaptation of a recipe from dlife.com (which obtained it from the american cancer research institute) with changes that do not alter the exchanges. I am planning to try this for christmas but want it here for safekeeping. Most likely, i will try this with the splenda brown sugar blend which will actually reduce the carb count. (dietary exchanges: 1-1/2 starch; 1 fruit; 1 fat)
