Bourbon Yams With Pecan Topping image

I have made this recipe for years, especially during the holidays. It has always been a hit. The pecan topping really makes the recipe. Everyone always, and I mean always asks for the recipe. Remember the last four ingredients are for the topping and not to be put into the dish.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for me, but I think it would be perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.

The yams were a little too soft for my taste, but the pecan topping was amazing.

I added a little extra brown sugar to the pecan topping and it was perfect. The yams were so sweet and gooey.

I used a different type of yam than the recipe called for and they still turned out great. This recipe is very forgiving.
