  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp flour, sifted
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp orange peel
  • 1 tsp soft tub margarine
  • 1/2 cup orange juice

Directions

Cut yams in half and boil until tender, but firm (about 20 minutes). When cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch thickness.

Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated orange peel. Place half of the sliced yams in a medium-sized casserole dish. Sprinkle with spiced sugar mixture. Dot with half the amount of margarine. Add a second layer of yams, using the rest of the ingredients in the same order as above. Add orange juice.

Bake uncovered in oven preheated to 350 degree F for 20 minutes.
