   OK. I did…however, when I pooured the sugars and spices on them and began to stir them..It turned out more mashed..The yams lost its shape. Why is that and how can I preserve it?

   THere was a list of ingredients on the web site that included more than your video shows. The two were very similar except the web page included a measure of orange juice and lemon juice. I can’t recall if it was a teaspoon or more of each. I wish I’d taken a snapshot of the screen
   This recipe is fantastic!

   When you first cooked the yams, did you cook with water first?

   Question: Do we add 1/2 cup of white sugar or brown sugar? It’s not at specific about what kind?
9. PAMELAMHOLMES on February 13th, 2010 3:13 pm
   

   You can use either but I prefer brown sugar. Enjoy.

    No. I put them in cold water.

    Soul food is like jazz, improvizational . Both ways taste great. Try it both ways and see which one you prefer.

    Pamela, thanks so much for your quick reply! Last question – after you put the now cut yams in the pot and all the ingredients into the mix, how much water should you add if any?
17. Anncoulterforprez on February 14th, 2010 7:24 am
    

    Well, everyone I perpare this for (I did use 1/2 a cup of Orange Juice and two tablespoons of lemon juice) just loves it. It’s requested for all special holiday meals now. Thanks again!!!

    just got the message, I hope it’s not too late. I don’t add any water just the sugar and butter. With the orange juice that should be all you need. If you like more liquid, feel free to add more juice. Enjoy!
