My honey kept asking for candied yams with the orange juice syrup and marshmallows. I couldn't find a recipe, so I made one up. Learn how to make these yams here — I must say they came out mighty fine!

Ingredients

2.5 pounds yams
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups marshmallows

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

Roast whole yams in the preheated oven until heated through but not quite tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool.
3

Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir brown sugar, orange juice, and nutmeg with the melted butter to dissolve the sugar completely; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until the liquid thickens into a syrup, 10 to 15 minutes.
5

Peel cooled yams. Cut yams into bite-sized chunks; arrange in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Drizzle syrup over the yams.
6

Bake in the preheated oven, twice opening the oven to spoon syrup over the yams, until the chunks are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Arrange marshmallows over the yams and continue baking until the marshmallows are puffy and browned, about 10 minutes more.
