I have never tasted jicama with anything but chili powder and lime, I

will have to give this a try.

Actually, I had never tried it in a sweet dish before either, but we

started making this around Thanksgiving and it has become a weekly

desert! The jicama adds *just* the right amount of tartness to this

recipe, and therefore it's a lot more " zesty " than regular fried

apples. I hope you enjoy it!!!
