"This was one of the most difficult carmel sauces I've ever made! I am a cook (not a chef) however the directions needed to be more precise, I was thankful for the reviews provided -- it let me know I wasn't going crazy. Yes the first batch I stirred -- bad me! The second one I did not and the sugar seized became hard -- I wasted 3 cups of sugar and hour of my time on Thanksgiving morning.

"I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit. I opted for a pecan graham cracker crust instead of the butter cookie crumbs and I'm glad it was spot on! Had a hard time finding the cane syrup had to go to a specialty supermarket (high-end). I used a bit more sweet potato and 8oz less of cream cheese (based upon the other review). This is not a sweet cheesecake so I made bourbon sweet whipped cream which provide just enough sweetness to satisfy. I will definitely make this again next year.
