This recipe has been in my files for over 15 years, & I find it a nice variation to a yam side dish. Originally I smoothly pureed the yams, preserves & butter in a food processor, but more recently I just mash them & am not concerned about any small lumps! Ingredients:
4 navel oranges, large, halved |
2 lbs yams |
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
1/4 cup apricot preserves |
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. Cut oranges in half, then carefully scoop out the pulp, keeping the orange shells intact.
2. Remove membrane from oranges, then chop/dice the pulp, & set it aside.
3. In a large saucepan, cook unpeeled, washed yams 40-45 minutes or until tender.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Drain & peel yams.
6. Mash yams together with the butter & preserves.
7. Fold in the orange pulp, then season to taste with salt.
8. Spoon yam mixture into the orange shells, & bake 15 minutes until heated through.
