ORANGE AND PECAN YAMS    

"Yams! Please, May I Have Some More Yams?"

Well, it's not often you hear that, but with this recipe, you will have them asking for seconds, and that's what makes it all worth it. That, and a heartfelt 'thank you'.

LET'S BEGIN. STEP BY STEP. FIRST THINGS FIRST.

Directions:

Drain canned yam juice, set it aside in case you need more liquidm, and pour yams into a large mixing bowl.

Add sugar and orange zest. Stir.

Mash some of the yams, but leave chunks.

Add spices. Stir.

Add egg and orange juice. Stir and fold until all is well blended.

Butter your 9by7,8,6 baking dish.

Spoon yam mixture into buttered baking dish.

Directions For Topping:

Combine all topping ingredients and mix and mash with a fork.

Drizzle topping combination evenly on top of yams mixture.

Place pecan halves strategically and decoratively on top.

Bake:

350F for 30 minutes. If recipe is doubled, 350F for 45 minutes. (The top should be gently browned and the liquid at the bottom of the dish should be slightly bubbly.)

If you only have one oven, here's a hint: When you take the bird out of the oven, place the yams in the oven at 375F for 20 minutes (for single recipe).

This dish goes from oven to table to spoon to dinnerplate to mouth to, "may I please have some more!"

How deliciously gratifying!
