Yummy Yams

Caramalized yams, very delicious! 

 Jan W. thank you for asking about how I make it.

I baked this very large yam in the oven at 350 for 2 hours.  The sugars were just starting to bubble out of the yam when I pulled it out of the oven.  I let it rest for 20 minutes or so.

I removed the peel after the resting period.  It was very easy, because during the resting period, the moisture helped the peel to separate from the yam meat.

I sliced it into large slices.

In a separate bowl I put some brown sugar and maple syrup (regular pancake syrup will work too) and a wee bit of water.

Mix together to make smooth.  Use this to coat the yam slices.

I put a tablespoon of unsalted butter into a warm non-stick fry pan.

I added the yam slices to the pan, and brushed the sugar/syrup/water mixture onto the yam slices. In this picture, the yam has already been flipped once.

Here is the second side, already looking delicious.  I kept the heat at medium, and cooked them slow to help the sugars caramalize without burning.

The yams were served with broccoli, roasted chicken and fried rice.  It is something that you will definitely ENJOY!
