Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 ½ pounds yams, peeled and cubed

  • 1 cup pineapple and orange juice blend

  • 2 tablespoons softened butter

  • ½ cup (packed) dark brown sugar

Directions

  1. Place yams into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
