Ingredients Convert Measures
- 3 lbs. fresh yams (from North Carolina, of course)
- 1 c. raisins
- 1 c. crushed pineapple
- 1/2 c. minced pecans
- 2/3 teaspoon vanilla
- Dashes of grnd ginger, cloves, cinnamon (nutmeg, if you like)
- Honey
- Orange juice
- 5 pats of butter
Directions
- Cook yams in large pot covered with water till soft (test with fork) approximately 1 hour. Remove from heat. Drain. Cover with cool water so you can handle. Slip off peel and put through ricer or possibly mash thoroughly with fork.
- Add in raisins, pineapple, pecans; mix well. Sprinkle spices, honey and orange juice, vanilla to moisten. Mix well.
- Pour into casserole which has been greased (or possibly I use butter flavored Pam). Push butter pats down around middle of yams.
- Since everything is cooked, can be made ahead of time, refrigerated till needed.
- Place on middle rack of oven and heat till bubbly. Then if you like, cover with marshmallows. Return to oven and toast till lightly browned. Delicious.
