Recipes:
Golden Apples and Yams

2 large yams or sweet potatoes
2 Golden Delicious apples, cored and sliced crosswise into rings
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup orange juice
2 Tbsp. chopped pecans or walnuts

Heat oven to 400. Bake yams 50 minutes or until soft but still retain shape. (This can also be done in microwave.) Cool yams until they can be handled. Reduce oven to 350. Peel and slice yams crosswise. In shallow 1-quart baking dish, alternate apple rings and yam slices, overlapping their edges slightly. In small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and cloves; stir in orange juice and blend. Heat orange juice mixture, stirring, until thickened; pour over apples and yams. Top casserole with nuts and bake 20 minutes or until apples and yams are tender. Serve. Makes 6 servings.
