Yams Candied with D.O. Cider
- 3 large yams
- 3/4 cup Delicious Orchards Cider
- 1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
In a saucepan cook 3 large yams in water to cover for 25-30 minutes, or until almost tender.
Peel the yams and halve them lengthwise.
In another saucepan combine 3/4 cup cider with 1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter.
Bring the liquid just to the boiling point and simmer for 10 minutes.
Arrange the yams in a buttered baking dish. Pour the syrup over them.
Bake the yams in a preheated moderately hot oven at 375 degrees.
Spoon the syrup over them 3 or 4 times for 45 minutes.
In a small dish mix 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar with 1 tablespoon each of butter and flour and sprinkle the mixture over the yams.
Increase heat to 400 degrees and bake the yams, basting them frequently for 15 more.
