Steps:

• 1. Drain peaches, reserving juice.
• 2. Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup peach juice and set aside.

• 4. Add yams to skillet; cover and cook 10 minutes.
• 5. Stir in peaches and cook 5 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes in a medium baking dish. Distribute butter pieces evenly over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Layer with miniature marshmallows.
• Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and marshmallows have melted.

Steps:

• Add yams to a pot of boiling water, cover and after allowing water to return to a boil, cook for 30-35 minutes.
• Rinse in cold water.
• Remove the skins from the yams.
• Cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• Quarter the apples and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• Spray a large rectangular or oblong pan with cooking spray of your choice.
• Layer the yams and the apples.
• Pour the orange juice over both layers.
• Dot with butter or margarine if desired.
• Top with the raisins.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
• You can adjust these amounts to your own personal preference.
• Bake at 350º for 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roast whole yams in preheated oven until heated through but not quite tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool.
• Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir brown sugar, orange juice, and nutmeg with the melted butter to dissolve the sugar completely; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until the liquid thickens into a syrup, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Peel cooled yams. Cut yams into bite-size chunks; arrange in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Drizzle syrup over the yams.
• Bake in the preheated oven, twice opening the oven to spoon syrup over the yams, until the chunks are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Arrange marshmallows over the yams and continue baking until the marshmallows are puffy and browned, about 10 minutes more.
