CANNED YAMS DO NOT WORK FOR THIS RECIPE.
Directions:
Directions:
Partially precook whole yams. Peel and cut into 2" cubes.

In oven, melt a cube of butter in a glass 9x13-inch baking dish. Mix in 1 lb of brown sugar. Add yams and spoon mixture over. Add some canned apricots and crushed pineapple and a small amount of each juice.

Heat this in the oven until the sauce is bubbling. Then, turn heat to the lowest possible temperature and cook slowly a long, long time. Turn the yams once in a while to keep coating them with sauce and checking for browning. The end result is very sticky, candied yams.

Personal Notes:
I sometimes put mine on the wood heater so I can watch it. I do this recipe a day or so before the event. The men go crazy for this one.
