Peel sweet potatoes.

Cut into 1/2 inch cubes.

Place potatoes in a 2 to 3 1/2 quart slow cooker.

Mix remaining ingredients except nuts.

Spoon over potatoes.

Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 8 hours or until potatoes are very tender.

Meanwhile, cook nuts in an ungreased heavy skillet over medium low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

Set aside.

Sprinkle nuts over sweet potatoes.
