Renae's Fabulous Candied Yams

Cook Jumbo YAMS* until they are soft enough to scrape/slide off the peelings.  Set aside to cool. 

In large skillet, cook together 2 squares margarine, 1-2 cans evaporated milk, brown sugar and a smidgen of salt.  (Depending on taste, you can add more milk and sugar.)  It’s ready when the sugar dissolves and it’s heated through.  If it tastes too sugary, add more milk. 

Slice peeled yams into baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.  Pour candied mixture over yams.  Bake at 350°.  Check often turning yams to be sure they are all candied.  It doesn’t take long to heat through.

Just before serving, top with marshmallows and melt in oven.  You’ll need to watch closely so the marshmallows don’t burn.

(NOTE:  All quantities depend on how many servings you need.)

*YAMS are NOT sweet potatoes – do not substitute.
