Glaze yams

Years ago, Nanna made sweet yams. Sadly when she passed away her recipes were lost. I tried to look for a recipe similar to hers, but could never find one. This recipe is not like hers, but it is tasty. 

Glaze

• honey ( 1/4 cup)

• butter 1 stick ( half a cup)

• cinnamon ( 1 teaspoon)

• sugar ( 1/2 cup)

( I used brown sugar, white is fine too) 

• vanilla extract ( 1 tablespoon)

Melt butter, add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil then pit onto yams. Add honey and cover yams with foil. Put in preheated oven at 400F

For about 25-35 minutes or until yams are soft and cooked. Depends on the thickness of yams. Enjoy! 

I used 3 yams. 

I diced them and put them in a small glass pan. 

Pour the glaze over them and cover with foil. 

The end results. While I tried to mix them, some of the yams got mash. But they still taste great. 

Lovely year

I admit having a blog seems easy, but I am a full time college student so there are many busy days. Unfortunately, I did not post anything for a long, long time. Hopefully, this is the year that I continue writing and posting frequently about food recipes, fashion, and anything else that I want to share. I can't wait to start sharing with you throughout the year.
