Candied Yams Diet Candy Recipe

While 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:
3 medium yams (1-1/2 cups)
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon orange peel
1 teaspoon soft tub margarine
1/2 cup orange juice

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.
