Glazed Sweet Potatoes

I was watching a cooking show with Bobby Flay the other day and these scrumptious sweet potatoes were on the menu... So, I finally sat down with my pen in hand and copied the recipe from my DVR and made them the other night... I thought that they were super yummy! A little sweet with our savory. The kids were not such big fans, but I think it might just have been the night - they were fiesty about everything! :)
