Instructions: Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees F. Peel and shred yams. Add with salt to 1 gallon water. Wash and drain yams and then put them into baking dish or shallow pan. In a small saucepan, mix sugar, Karo, water. Cook until it thickens somewhat and a simple syrup forms. Add butter. Pour pineapple juice over yams and add the simple syrup. Place in oven and bake until yams are transparent, about 45 minutes. Serve hot. ENJOY! Serves 8.

*Note: A yam in Central Georgia is a red or pink fleshed sweet potato - not yellow fleshed. If you have to use the latter, you will need to increase and adjust the amount of sugar used.
