Candied Yams, Heart Healthy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 yams (enough to yield 3 cups)
1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend, packed
2 teaspoons flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon orange peel
2 teaspoons soft tub margarine
1 cup orange juice

Preparation

Cut yams in half and boil until tender but firm (about 20 minutes).
When cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch thickness.
Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated orange peel.
Place half of the sliced yams in a medium-sized casserole dish.
Sprinkle with spiced sugar mixture.
Dot lightly with half the amount of margarine.
Add a second layer of yams, using the rest of the ingredients in the same order as above. Add orange juice.
Bake uncovered in oven preheated to 350\u00b0 F for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
