Candied Yams
6 medium yams or sweet potatoes
1/4 cup light brown sugar, combined with ½ cup granulated sugar.
½ cup lemon juice
1 cup melted butter
Nutmeg to taste
Preheat oven to 350. Wash yams and place in baking pan. Bake for 1 hour. After first 15 minutes. Puncture yams on top and bottom with fork. After 1 hour of baking take yams out of oven and peel while hot (hold them with a kitchen towel, they’ll be too hot for bare hands). Cut the yams lengthwise, about ½ inch thick. Layer in a heavily buttered baking dish. Sprinkle each layer as you go, with a little sugar, lemon juice, butter and nutmeg until all yams are layered. Return to oven for 30 minutes or until nicely browned. Serves 6 to 8.
