    Ingredients

      3 (1 1/2 C) medium yams
      1/4 C brown sugar, packed
      1 tsp flour, sifted
      1/4 tsp salt

      1/4 tsp orange peel
      1 tsp soft tub margarine

    Cut yams in half and boil until tender but firm (about 20 minutes). When cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch thickness.

    Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated orange peel.

    Place half of sliced yams in medium-size casserole dish. Sprinkle with spiced sugar mixture.
