Southern Style Candied Yams



Makes 12 Servings

2 cans cut yams, drained and mashed -or- 4-6 fresh yams, peeled, cubed and cooked until softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup whipping cream
32 marshmallows

Directions:

Mash together all ingredients except marshmallows. Cut 12 marshmallows in half and mix in with yam mixture. Turn into buttered baking dish and top with rest of marshmallows. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until marshmallows are lightly browned.



Can't beat Southern-style candied yams! I prefer fresh yams to the canned ones, but if you're in a hurry--which, who isn't on Thanksgiving--canned will do just fine.
