These are a great classic favorite, but instead of serving them with cranberry sauce, bring out the Pineapple Chutney.

Ingredients

  • 4 small yams (6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Method

  1. Peel the yams and quarter them.
  2. Place the yams in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until they are just tender but still firm, 20 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the maple syrup and bourbon and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly reduced, 15 mi
