Blue Ribbon Recipe

We just love combining two traditional Thanksgiving foods - sweet potato and cranberries - in one pretty casserole. If you're a fan of fresh cranberries and their tartness, you'll enjoy this. Not overly sweet, the flavor of the cranberries and sweet potatoes shines bright. A touch of orange juice complements all the flavors. The buttery, nutty topping gives this easy holiday side dish a little sweetness and crunch.
