Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients, EXCEPT pecans.
  2. Toast pecans in the oven or dry skillet, set aside. Careful not to burn!
  3. Cook for 6 - 8 hours, until the yams are tender. I stir to combine every hour or so.
  4. About 1-2 hours before serving, if the mixture is too wet, prop the lid open a bit with a toothpick to let some of the steam out and thicken up the sauce.
  5. Put in your favorite serving dish and top with pecans for serving.
