Tips:
- Choose the right yams: Look for yams that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid any yams that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Peel and cut the yams evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the yams are too thick, they may not cook through. Cut them into 1-inch thick slices or chunks.
- Soak the yams: This will help to remove some of the starch and make them less likely to stick together. Soak the yams in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Boil the yams until tender: This should take about 15-20 minutes. You can check to see if they are done by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the yams are done.
- Make the glaze: While the yams are boiling, make the glaze. This is a simple mixture of butter, sugar, brown sugar, and spices. You can also add other ingredients like vanilla extract or orange zest.
- Glaze the yams: Once the yams are cooked, drain them and then transfer them to a baking dish. Pour the glaze over the yams and stir to coat. Bake the yams in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and the yams are heated through.
