List of Ingredients




8 medium yams
1 red apple, sliced and cored
1 green apple, sliced and cored
1 cup red seedless grapes
3 cups reserved yam liquid
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cane syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 ounce brandy
2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup chopped pecans
marshmallows optional

Preheat oven to 375F. Peel yams and slice into one inch thick pieces. Boil yams in lightly salted water until tender, approximately 30 minutes. When tender, remove yams, set aside and reserve 3 cups of the boiling liquid. In a two quart saucepan, bring yam liquid to a rolling boil. Add sugar, cane syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and brandy. Cook approximately 5 minutes. Add sliced apples and red grapes and return to a low boil. Reduce heat to simmer, add dissolved cornstarch and continue cooking as mixture thickens. Adjust sweetness to your liking by adding additional sugar or syrup. Place yams in baking dish and top with cooked syrup. Sprinkle with pecans and add marshmallows if desired. Bake until bubbly hot and marshmallows are melted.
