Citrus Yams

This one has become a holiday favorite in my family. Avoid the rather trite marshmallow and yams, and try this one out instead.

Ingredients:
  • 2 lb. Sweet Potatoes (about 6 medium)
  • 2/3 cups Sugar
  • 1 tbl Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Grated Orange Peel
  • 1 cups Orange Juice
  • 2 Tbsp Butter or Margarine
Directions:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Pare Sweet Potatoes; cut up. Arrange in ungreased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
  2. In small saucepan, stir together Sugar, Cornstarch, Salt & Orange Peel.
  3. Slowly stir Orange Juice into sugar mixture. Add Butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens & boils.
  4. Pour hot orange juice mixture over sweet potatoes in casserole. Cover; bake 1 hour, basting occasionally.
