Here is a delicious recipe from McCormick Spice that screams “Thanksgiving”. It’s simple to make and is a special addition to your holiday menu. Sweet potatoes are a must on any Thanksgiving table and the combo of this staple with spices like cinnamon and ginger, plus orange and cranberry is seriously scrumptious. My husband is a huge fan of crunchy toppings and this dish boasts one that’s out of this world. Pecan, cinnamon and brown sugar top this sweet potato concoction – I will be doubling the topping recipe because there just can’t be enough! Visit Mc Cormick’s website , for many more ideas.
