Listed in Categories:
  • 6 sm Yams (or 3 medium)
  • 1 c Sugar
  • 1 Stick margarine
  • 1 c Shredded coconut
  • 1/4 c Milk
  • 2 lg Eggs; beaten
  • 1 ts Vanilla
----------------------------------TOPPING----------------------------------
1 c Brown sugar
1 c All-purpose flour
1 Stick margarine; melted
1 c Pecans; chopped

Wash, peel, and cut the yams into cubes. Cover with water and cook until
tender. Drain water and mash yams to make 3 cups. Add sugar, margarine,
coconut, milk, eggs and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Pour into a 2- or
3-quart casserole dish. Set aside.

TOPPING: Mix brown sugar and flour until smooth. Add margarine; mix well.
Add pecans. This will make a thick paste. Spread (or crumble with your
hands) the paste on top of the prepared casserole. Bake at 325°F. for 30
minutes. Makes 4-6 servings.

NOTES : This recipe is a real winner! It came out of the Antelope Valley
Press Holiday Food Guide one year and I believe it even won a contest of
some kind. I remember reading the next year that the A.V. Press had many
calls requesting the recipe again. My family has asked me to make this for
each Thanksgiving ever since I brought it for the first time--they loved it
and so do I!
