Ingredients
3-4
yams, peeled
(yams or sweet potatoes work)
2
tbsp
pure maple syrup
2
tbsp
grassfed butter or ghee
(or coconut oil for dairy free)
1/4
tsp
nutmeg
1/4
tsp
cloves
1/4
tsp
cinnamon
1
orange, zest and juice
Instructions
Peel and cut your yams into cubes.
Boil your yams until they are soft, but not mushy, about 10-15 minutes. Once they are done remove from heat and drain them.
Return drained yams to the same pot and mash, keeping them a little clumpy.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until everything is combined.
Serve your Thanksgiving yams or place them in an oven safe dish and reheat later for serving.
