Marshmallow Yams

Classic yam recipe for Thanksgiving!  


 For an 8x8 pan.  Double recipe below for a 9x13 pan.
1 29 oz can yams
1/3 c butter
2/3 c brown sugar
2/3 c syrup from the yams can
1/2 tsp salt
1tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2-1 c pecans (optional)
marshmallows


Combine yam syrup, butter, sugar and salt.  Bring it to a boil to thicken.  Add cinnamon and nutmeg; bring to a simmer.  Add pecans to mixture.  Put the drained yams into a pan.  Cut them into bite-sized pieces.  Pour the liquid mixture over the yams.  Bake yams in a 350 degree oven, basting frequently, for 20-30 minutes (I didn't baste them last time and they were fine).  About 5 minutes before serving, sprinkle marshmallows on top until they are toasted golden brown.
