TVFN, It's a Surprise, Show #SU1A24: A Soulful Birthday--NYC

4 pounds yams (or sweet potatoes), peeled and cut to large bite-sized pieces
2 cups orange juice
3 cups light corn syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup vanilla extract
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Boil yams until slightly underdone, to avoid breaking. Strain, cool
and set aside.

In a large container whisk together orange juice, corn syrup,
cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and zest. In another bowl, whisk flour and
both sugars together.

Put cooled yams in a deep baking dish, add dry ingredients and stir
to coat. Pour liquid over yams and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
