Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
6 medium yams
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup water
5 cups sugar
directions
Peel and slice yams about a quarter inch thick. Rinse and pat dry.
Place yams in a large skillet, add water, butter or margarine and pour sugar over all. Cover tightly with well fitting lid. Simmer over medium heat for 30-35 minutes.
Spoon syrup over potatoes once. Do not stir, because it will break your potatoes up.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I need to make 1 serves can you help me with this
To resize a recipe it works best to divide it in even numbers so I would recommend changing the serving size to "2" instead of 1 (it'll make the measurements easier to follow). Just use the button at the top to change it.

This recipe was what I've been looking for so long..Just a simple way to make yams..This recipe is so direct and its open for you to add any extra ingredient (I added nutmeg). Thanks I was added too much water until now!
