I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my yams turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These yams were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I think I'll try using less molasses next time.

These baked yams were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The ginger molasses butter was the perfect complement to the sweet potatoes. The yams were cooked perfectly and had a lovely caramelized crust.
