Pies

Yams are a great alternative to potatoes for making sweet potato pie, as yams are naturally sweeter.  This delicious recipe will show you how it's done.  Firstly thoroughly scrub off any dirt from 3 medium sized yams under a running tap.  Clean them really well - it's OK if you remove some of the skin in the process of scrubbing.

Stab your yams with a fork a few times to make them easy to cook, then slice them in half, leaving the skins on. Place your yam halves in a pot, cover them completely in water and boil for an hour to an hour and a half.
