Orange Glazed Yams

I use this sauce on my yams at Christmas and Thanksgiving.

However you could also use it to dress up a dish of cooked carrots.

• 2 large yams or sweet potatoes
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch

1. Peel and cut yams into serving size pieces
2. Cook in salted water just until tender. Do not overcook or they will fall apart.
3. Make orange sauce:
4. Melt butter and brown sugar in skillet.
5. Mix 1/4 cup orange juice with cornstarch and set aside.
6. Add orange juice and rind to pan. Cook and stir until blended and bubbly.
7. Add cornstarch mixture and continue to stir until mixture boils again.
8. Pour over yams.

This can all be made a day ahead of time, refrigerated and then reheated in the oven or microwave just before serving.
