Delicious Yam Recipe

                                                           
Ingredients: 
5 large yams, peeled, chopped into 2-3 inch chunks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
water, as needed
miniature marshmallows (optional - see end of recipe)

Method: 
1. Place all ingredients except marshmallows (if used) in a large pot.
2. Add enough water to cover yams 2 inches.
3. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer on medium low until yams are tender and liquid is syrupy, about 30-45 minutes.
4. Watch closely after 15-20 minutes of simmering to make sure all liquid does not boil away. Add water if necessary. You should finish with about 1 cup of syrupy liquid in the pot. If syrup is too thick, add water. If too watery, add sugar and continue cooking until syrup develops.
Variation: Some people like the yams as they are. Some like to add marshmallows. After potatoes are cooked, place yams with syrup in a pan and cover top with miniature marshmallows. Place in oven set on broiler position. Watch closely and remove as soon as marshmallows are melted.Do not walk away. They will burn quickly.

I hope you enjoy !
