From the kitchen of Renee Wilson<\/h4>\n\n\n

Work together until well combined:<\/p>\n

1\/4 c light brown sugar, packed<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

3 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temp.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

3 Tbsp flour<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Work in:<\/p>\n

1\/3 c pecans, chopped fine<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Set aside.<\/p>\n

This can be made up to 8 hr ahead & stored at room temp.<\/p>\n

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.<\/p>\n

Add:<\/p>\n

6 medium yams\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(about 3 lbs) peeled & cut into 1\/2″ thick rounds.<\/p>\n

Cook until crisp tender, about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

Do not overcook!<\/p>\n

They should hold their shape when drained.<\/p>\n

Drain & rinse under cold running water.<\/p>\n

Lightly butter a 13×9 baking dish.<\/p>\n

Arrange the yams, overlapping in vertical rows, in the prepared dish.<\/p>\n

The yams can be arranged in the baking dish up to 8 hr before baking, covered tightly with plastic wrap & refrigerate.<\/p>\n

Pour:<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 c heavy cream<\/strong><\/em>, heated over the yams.<\/p>\n

Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

Crumble the pecan mixture over the yams & continue baking until the yams are tender & the topping is browned, 20-30 more minutes.<\/p>\n

Serve hot.<\/p>\n
