At every Holiday or special occasion you can expect to see some Sweet Potato pie, Apple pie, Pecan pie, Pumpkin pie. I buy yams by the bushel in the summer and they last me almost a full year. A bushel is about 50 lbs. I keep them stored in a clothes hamper in my mud room. This is just 1 of many recipes I make with them.
This recipe is relatively quick and easy.
3 Large Yams
1 Stick of melted butter
1 C white sugar
1 C brown sugar
1 t vanilla
1/2 C condensed sweetened milk
1 t cinnamon
2 t lemon juice
2 eggs
1 pie crust

Boil the yams till soft (1 hr.) and let them cool.
Preheat oven to 350. Peel yams and mash. Add vanilla, butter, sugars, cinnamon and lemon juice.
