I believe this recipe came from a Southern Living cookbook. Everyone raved over the taste. It's a great recipe for the holiday season. The yams I used were huge, so I adjusted the portion size. You could probably stretch this out even further as a side dish with all the other foods you will be serving. Ingredients:
6 cooked and pared yams or 6 sweet potatoes |
1 1/2 cups brown sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 teaspoon orange zest |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 cup apricot juice |
1 cup canned apricots, drained |
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Quarter the prepared yams and place in a buttered casserole.
2. Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, orange peel, cinnamon and apricot juice in saucepan.
3. Cook over medium-high heat until sauce thickens.
4. Add apricots, butter and pecans.
5. Pour over yams.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until heated through.
