Candied Canned Yams With Marshmallows (gf)

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 3 (40 ounce) cans cut yams in syrup, syrup reserved
• 1/2 cup rice flour (or 1/4 c cornstarch as a gf alternative, or 1/2 c all-purpose flour if gluten-free doesn't matter)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter (half a stick)
• 10 ounces marshmallows (less if desired)

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees. spray a 9x13x2 baking pan (or 4 quart casserole) with cooking spray.
• 2 mix flour, brown sugar and salt in a microwavable 4 cup measuring cup.
• 3 add syrup from yam cans so that the measuring cup contains about 2 1/2 cups. (you'll add about 2 cups of syrup, but some of the sugar and flour dissolves.) stir.
• 4 add butter, sliced.
• 5 microwave, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick, but still pourable. this step took me about 10 minutes. i start with 90 seconds, then stir every 30 or 20 seconds. if it gets too thick, add water and stir.
• 6 place yams in sprayed casserole. pour sauce over yams. bake until the sauce starts to bubble, about 25 minutes.
• 7 top with marshmallows and return to the oven to brown, about 10 minutes.
