Candied Yams Diet Candy RecipeWhile not "officially" candy, these are so tasty, they'll satisfy a candy craving! A small amount of margarine and orange juice give these yams lots of flavor but little fat.
Ingredients: |
Directions:
Cut yams in half and boil until tender but firm (about 20 minutes). When cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch thickness.
Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated orange peel.
Place half of the sliced yams in a medium-sized casserole dish. Sprinkle with spiced sugar mixture. Dot with half the amount of margarine.
Add a second layer of yams, using the rest of the ingredients in the same order as above. Add orange juice.
Bake uncovered in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
