Grandma's Candied Yams

"These Candied Yams are a must at our Thanksgiving Dinner.  It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without them.  They are the perfect amount of golden sweetness and would be a delicious addition to your holiday dinner!" 

4-5 Yams
1/2 cup or 1 stick of butter
2 cups packed brown sugar

Peel yams and cut into large chunks.  Place in a large stock pot and cover with water.  Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender.  Drain.  Return to the pan and add stick of butter and brown sugar.  Heat on medium heat until butter melts and brown sugar dissolves. Continue to cook until sauce thickens and becomes syrupy.  Enjoy!
