Candied Yams

Servings: 6
Serving size: 1/4 cup

3 medium yams

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon flour, sifted

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon orange peel

1 teaspoon soft tub margarine

1/2 cup orange juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
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 the spiced sugar mixture.
Dot with half the amount of margarine.
Add a second layer of yams, and the rest of the ingredients in the same order as before.
Add orange juice.
Bake uncovered in oven for 20 minutes.
