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.
