Betsy's Holiday Yam Bake

My friend Betsy is a great cook. Here is a recipe she sent me from her Thanksgiving dinner. I can't wait to try it. Sweet potatoes (camote) and marshmallows are plentiful in Mexico so I should have no problem finding the ingredients.

Chop up or mash (according to your preference) and place in
1 1/2 qt. casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray.
1 kilo (1 40 oz. can) cooked yams, drained

Stir in until well mixed.
1 small can (8.5 oz.) crushed pineapple, in juice
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons melted butter or margarine
3 Tablespoons chopped pecans

Bake 20 min. at 350 degrees F. (or heat thoroughly in microwave);

Sprinkle on top and bake 10 min. more.
3/4 c. miniature marshmallows (optional)

Serves 8.

Note: This is a flexible recipe. I often add more pecans, at least 1/4 c., or leave
them out altogether.
