Southern Comfort Yams or Sweet Potatoes--Easy and Yummy

I made up this recipe with a bunch of things we had on hand... it tastes wonderful. Don't worry about the alcohol content for kids- the alcohol cooks off ( well most of it anyway) leaving only the southern comfort taste.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 3  large  raw  yams
• 1⁄2 cup salted butter
• 1  cup light brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup maple syrup (real)
• 1  tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1⁄2 cup  Southern Comfort

Directions

1. Boil yams in water, on stove, until soft.
2. After Yams are cool to touch, peel them, cut into thick chunks and put aside in 8 x 8 glass dish.
3. Put rest of ingredients in deep non-stick saucepan.
4. Cook over medium-high until the alcohol has boiled off ( smell gone)-stir constantly-this should take about 3-4 minutes.
5. Pour mixture over set aside yams.
6. Bake at 350 F until dish is bubbly.
7. Let sit a few minutes before serving.
