Bourbon Yams With Pecan Topping image

I have made this recipe for years, especially during the holidays. It has always been a hit. The pecan topping really makes the recipe. Everyone always, and I mean always asks for the recipe. Remember the last four ingredients are for the topping and not to be put into the dish.

I'm not a big fan of pecans, so I used walnuts instead. They turned out just as good.

These yams were a disaster! They were mushy and the glaze was way too sweet.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a little less bourbon than the recipe called for, but they still turned out great.

These yams were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The bourbon glaze was perfectly balanced and the pecan topping added a nice crunch. Will definitely be making these again next year!
