Bereiding

  1. Peel and slice the yams

    • Peel the yams and trim away any tough white parts.
    • Slice them thick, keeping all pieces roughly the same size.
    Stap 1
  2. Make the syrup

    • In a pot, melt the butter.
    • Squeeze in the juice of the orange.
    • Add the white sugar, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt.
    • Mix everything well until incorporated, then taste and adjust.
    Stap 2
  3. Add the yams and simmer

    • Add the sliced yams to the pot and stir so every piece is coated in the syrup.
    • Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
    • Then leave the lid slightly ajar and cook for about 20 minutes, until the yams are fork tender.
    Stap 3
  4. Finish and serve

    • Give everything one last stir.
    • Check that a fork slides easily through the yams, then serve.
