Answer 2

It would depend on the circumstances and what other items were part of the meal! With Turkey, I would probably go with brown sugar and butter sauce, with a ham I would lean more toward a raisin sauce of some kind, you can always incorporate bourbon, marshmallows, just plain, roasted is fantastic because it uses it's own carmelization, cinnamon and brown sugar works well, and so forth. Really need all the facts to sum up an answer!

Answer 4

None.

Try cooking them until fork tender in boiling water. Drain them and then mash them or use an electric. beater until they are smooth. Then add half to three quarter stick of margarine or butter and whip that in. Next you add Dark Brown sugar to taste. It is an easy dish and you can make it a head and reheat in oven or microwave before serving. Some people like to top with marshmallows and brown them under the broiler but I like them without the marshmallows.

It's a change up recipe instead of the candied yam stuff.
