THANKSGIVING MAPLE ROSEMARY WHIPPED YAMS TOPPED WITH CINNAMON CANDIED PECANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Make candied pecans. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place peeled and cubed yams in a large pot, fill with water, then place over medium heat. Bring to boil and let boil for about 20-25 minutes, until yams are fork tender. Drain. Place yams in blender (I used a blendtec) and blend until smooth, using a spatula to mix yams and scrape down sides of blender as needed to help them puree into a smooth mixture. Then add heavy cream, maple syrup, rosemary and salt. Blend again until combine. Taste to see if you would like to add any more salt. Grease a 2 quart baking dish then pour pureed yams into baking dish and smooth out with spatula. On top of the casserole, place candied yams in whatever shape or formation you prefer. Place dish into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until pecans become fragrant but no do not burn. Garnish with extra maple syrup and fresh rosemary. by juli
