Preparation

Step 1

1. Peel your pretty yams.

2. Slice them into rings. Try to cut them about the same thickness (did that make sense)?

3. Put them in a large pot, cover with water, get that baby on the stove and boil them. Be aware that these yams cook a little faster than a regular potato. Once you can press a fork into the center of one of the larger yams remove the pan from the heat. You don't want them to get over cooked.

4. Pour them into a colander in your sink.

5. While your yams cook, make the yummy caramel sauce. Melt your butter in a medium sized sauce pan over medium high heat.

6. Pour the flour into the melted butter and combine the two with a whisk.

7. Pour the evaporated milk into the sauce pan.

8. Add a little dash of salt.

9. Stir the ingredients together. Turn up the heat just a bit and and bring it to a boil stirring constantly.

10. Once you have a bit of a boil going add the brown sugar. Whisk it all together and bring the mixture back to a boil. Once it comes to a boil this time, it will get quite thick.

11. Stir the milk into the sauce and let it come to a boil once more.

12. Remove the pan from the heat. Your sauce should be thicker than gravy, but thinner than pudding.

13. Pour the yams into a 9x9 pan, sprayed with cooking spray.

14. Pour the sauce over the yams, cover the pan with tin foil and bake at 350 for 40 minutes, or until bubbly throughout.
