I created this recipe for my lovely husband (who I call Seets) after looking at several other recipes and not finding any that were close to what his Grandmother makes. He loves these, and hopefully you do too. Ingredients:
2 (15 ounce) cans yams or 2 (15 ounce) cans sweet potatoes |
1 tablespoon margarine |
5 1/4 ounces miniature marshmallows (more or less to taste) |
1/4 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Drain the yams.
3. In a shallow baking dish mash one can of yams and leave the other can of yams in pieces (This is more of a personal preferance, you can leave both cans in pieces if you wish).
4. Pour orange juice over the yams.
5. Sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon.
6. Dot with butter or margarine.
7. Top the yams with marshmallows.
8. Bake 30 minutes or until marshmallows have melted.
9. Be sure to watch the yams the last 5 minutes because the marshmellows can burn.
