Personal Notes:
Story:: My mother Evelyn (French) Burdsall always made the candied sweet potatoes. They were the GREATEST! I never did get the recipe that was in her head. She would always say, "I'll write it down later". Moms at that time just made things. Over the years I finally decided I would not do that to the next generation, so here is my written version.
