Ingredients
- 3 large yams
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar firmly packed
Instructions
- Scrub the yams clean and cut into 2-inch thick slices. Do NOT peel the yams!
- Place yams in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Allow yams to simmer until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Carefully drain the water and allow the yams to cool to the touch.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and remove the peels from the yams.
- Place yams into a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish in an even layer. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat
- Stir in the brown sugar until combined. Allow to boil for 5 minutes. Pour the brown sugar mixture over top of the yams.
- If making ahead of time: cover the baking dish with foil and allow to cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator. Uncover yams before baking.
- Place the baking dish in the oven for 30 minutes or until the yams are warmed through and the sauce is slightly bubbling around the edges
- Remove from oven. Be careful when serving and the sauce is VERY hot!
