Instructions: Individually wrap yams in heavy duty aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 3 hours. This will "caramelize" the pulp giving it a smooth, sweet flavor. Cool yams overnight in refrigerator. Remove foil and yam skins (they should fall off)and put pulp in food processor. Add juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg to food processor and blend for 8-10 minutes until pudding is light and fluffy. Chill and serve in individual dessert dishes garnished with fruit.

Hints:
I put the yams on some non-stick pan; they seem to "leak" no matter how tightly I wrap them.

3 medium yams seems about the right ratio for the amount of other ingredients.

You really do need to blend for a while to make it light and fluffy This makes a big difference as to whether you get sweet yams or a sweet fluffy pudding.

Notice this is vegan, and has no processed sugars, or processed items at all. And we all know how good yams are for us! It is also very easy (the skins really do fall off) and keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days. Enjoy! [Ellen Sentovich ((ellens@Cadence.COM)]
