Either will work. NUke them in a little water w/ some salt. Add a splash of orange juice when you're done, a dash of nutmeg, and a bit of butter. Nuke about 6-8 min.

put them in a sauce pan with a little honey , butter and sugar and cook for 15 to 25 min. if fresh and 5 to 10 min if canned. that's the way i make them and the kids love them too.
good luck
