I also want to mention that leftovers rewarm beautifully. Gigi—I made this strudel a few weeks back and totally agree with your comment. I also want to mention that leftovers rewarm beautifully.

The flakiness of the phyllo contrasted nicely with the velvety sweet potatoes. I used chopped toasted almonds (since almonds were all I had) instead of pecans and they really added a special touch to the recipe. Just make sure you use just a sprinkle of the coarse sea salt.

Cyr] Let autumn colors and flavors dress your harvest table this year. This strudel marries red cranberries, golden raisins, and orangy sweet potatoes and carrots together for a taste experience that is to be savored. You'll love how these earthy and sweet-tart notes harmonize with the nutty essence of the browned butter and toasted nuts. Give this strudel a pleasantly warm oven where these flavors can emerge, and you'll soon be captivated by its superb aroma and taste. Serve this show-stopping strudel at home or take it out on the town…one will not be enough to go around. [Karla M. Cyr] Let autumn colors and flavors dress your harvest table this year.

It has just the right combination of textures—smooth, plump, creamy, crunchy and nutty—to entice your palate over and over again. The buttery sweetness of the sweet potatoes and dried fruit is cunningly disguised by the sea salt, giving a unique savory take on a traditionally sweet combination. I would serve this strudel to my friends any day—if there's any left over after I dive into it first! [Amy Giezentanner] This strudel recipe is fabulous!

The buttery, flaky crust surrounds the earthy richness of fall's best ingredients. Sweet potatoes and carrots make a wonderfully smooth and earthy base in which the cranberries and raisins just sparkle. Topping off the strudel with the crème fraîche full of warm spice flavors adds the perfect finishing touch. Everyone who had this thoroughly enjoyed it. It will become a staple in this kitchen every fall and may even make an appearance at my Thanksgiving table. [Nancy Mosher] This strudel has all the delights of a perfect, crisp autumn day to it.

I made this the first time with the phyllo pastry following the recipe. The next time I made it using a sheet of puff pastry dough that I had in the freezer and it was just as delicious. This will be a great side dish at Thanksgiving with the combination of carrots, sweet potatoes and pecans.

This strudel was easy to put together and the flavor was wonderful. Sweet, salty, crunchy, and smooth. Exactly the right combination. The strudel was a perfect autumn side dish to my roast pork loin but would also be great with Thanksgiving turkey. Actually, since I'm not real big on sweets this is my idea of the perfect dessert. And, if more than four are coming for dinner you might want to heed her advice and make two....maybe more...it really is <em>that</em> good.
