I made this for my daughter and I for lunch today. Tagged thru the Photo Forum March Challenge. It is a very tangy dish. I wish I had added a bit more cinnamon to the mix and a bit less orange juice as the OJ overpowered the yams (next time I'm using freshly squeezed instead of purchased juice). Very nice dish overall! Thanks Annacia!

I wasn't about to wait for the winter holidays to come around again just so I could try this recipe, AND I'm glad I didn't! Followed the recipe right down the line, [although I do use orange zest GENEROUSLY!], & I was extremely happy with the results! Oh, yeah, I also did not peel the steamed yams since I want all the nutrients I can get! Thanks for posting this recipe, Annacia ~ it goes into my Yuletide book as well as my vegetarian one!
