Ingredients
- 2 yam poked with holes and roasted, large
- 1-1/2 cups walnuts coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
- Wash the yams and pat them dry.
- Poke yams a few times with a fork, wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them in the oven for 45 to 60 minutes (depending on size. Mine took a full hour). The yams are done when thick juice is seeping out of them and they’re soft when poked.
- Remove yams from the oven and set aside.
- Addremaining ingredients medium-sized skillet and heat to medium or medium high. Stir with a wooden spoon until the pure maple syrup (or honey) is coating everything, walnuts become fragrant and raisins plump up, about 2 to 5 minutes, careful not to burn. Taste mixture for flavor and add more sea salt to taste.
- Once yams are cool enough to handle, quarter them and top with desired amount of topping.
- Serve hot!
- A fabulous idea: give them a squirt of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted butter.
