1. Pierce yams and parbake at 350° for about 45 minutes or until somewhat firm (a bit of resistance to a fork). Cool and peel. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces and layer in glass baking dish.

2. In saucepan, melt butter and add in brown sugar until a thick mixture results (may not need to use all of the brown sugar); add baking soda. Mixture will change color - stir for 30 seconds and remove from heat.

This dish is very forgiving and will take extra oven time, travel, or reheating.
