    Ingredients

    • 4 lb Yams, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
    • 3/4 c. Dark brown sugar, packed
    • 3 Tbsp. Butter, melted
    • 1 1/2 tsp Grnd cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp Grated nutmeg
    • 2 Tbsp. Fresh orange juice
    • 3 Tbsp. Brandy, optional
    • 1 1/2 tsp Grated orange zest
    • 1 c. Minature marshmallow
    • 1/2 c. Pecans, minced and toasted

    Directions

    1. Place the yams in a 4 qt electric slow cooker. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange juice. Spoon the yams.
    2. Cover and cook on the low heat setting 5 1/2 to 6 hrs, stirring once. If possible, till yams are tender.
    3. Stir in the brandy and orange zest. Sprinkle the marshmallows and pecans over the top. Cover and cook 5 min longer, or possibly till the marshmallows are melted. Serve immediately.
    4. NOTES : We omitted the brandy, the marshmallows and the pecans...but this recipe is really a keeper! In fact, I have made it three times in the last month and it will definitely be on my Thanksgiving and Christmas menus.
