Instructions: It is heartening to know that many civilizations were dependent upon the yam.

They didnt have little marshmallows for them. The first people often had little else to eat, and were thankful for the "lowly" yam that grew in such abundance.

A grower once told me that yams and sweet potatoes are the same thing. As a lover of both, I dont believe that for a minute!

2 lbs sweet potatoes or yams
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
1 lb sausage

Parboil sweet potatoes 15 minutes. Peel and cut into strips. Put in greased baking dish. Mix sugars, butter, salt, and water thoroughly, and boil in saucepan 3 minutes. Pour syrup over sweet potatoes. Bake 40 minutes at 350 F.. Put
Sausages on top and continue baking another 30 minutes
