Cranberry-Glazed Sweet Potatoes image

Found this recipe in Low Fat Ways to Cook for the Holidays (C1998). Love sweet potatoes but was looking for a new and different way to prepare them. I love how this sounds and plan to make for Thanksgiving this year. Adopted recipe. times are negotiable depending on power of microwave.
