BERRY MALLOW YAM BAKE
My Yam Bake has become a holiday tradition in our family. The blend of cranberries and sweet potatoes in this recipe results in a very pretty appearance-and a unique taste. I grew up on a small Arkansas farm in the foothills of the Ozarks. Both my mother and father are excellent cooks, and I've been cooking since I was a little girl. In fact, my husband teases me that I read cookbooks like some other people read novels!

MAPLE YAMS WITH APPLES & CRANBERRIES
I had some beautiful organic jewel yams from my store that just begged for some love, and I searched all over the internet for a yam recipe that was just right. I didn't find anything that was exactly what I wanted: something with less sugar and more flavor, no nuts, and definitely no marshmallows! This is what I came up with.

Steps:
- Scrub yams thoroughly, place on baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F until cooked but still somewhat firm, about 30-40 minutes.
- Set yams aside to cool.
- Slice apples thinly. Leave the skin on, for its color, its wonderful nutritional value, and so the apples keep their shape. I used Granny Smiths because they have a nice tartness and don't fall apart in baking, but Golden Delicious or similar would also be good.
- Toss apples with lemon juice and set aside.
- Combine all remaining ingredients EXCEPT for cranberries in small saucepan, and cook until sugar is dissolved, creating a thin sauce.
- Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice sweet potatoes into thick slices, or cut into chunks as desired, leaving the skins on. (Remember--fiber is good!).
- Assemble casserole in a greased 9x13x2-inch baking dish (stoneware or glass), layering the yams, then apples, then the cranberries. There should be enough for two layers of each.
- Pour sauce over the top of the casserole.
- Bake uncovered casserole for 30-45 minutes, basting intermittently with its own juices (or with extra fruit juice for a more moist casserole--I used some apple cider I had on hand) until apples are tender and dish is hot.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before serving, if possible, so the juices can thicken up a bit.
- Variation: Drizzle lightly before serving with some warm maple syrup and/or flax oil.
- Alternatively: if you're preparing it ahead of time, cover dish with foil and refrigerate overnight, and bake as usual the next day.
- Note on the "maple syrup": you must use natural maple syrup, not pancake syrup! I used Grade B--it has a higher nutrient content and a richer flavor. If you don't have maple syrup on hand, just use honey instead. The taste won't be as rich, but it will still be yummy.
