Recipe - Golden Apples And Yams

2 lg Yams or sweet potatoes
2 Golden delicious apples;
cored and cut or sliced up crosswise
into rings
One fourth cup Firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon Ground cloves
One half cup Orange juice
2 tablespoon Chopped pecans or walnuts

* Because yams (or sweet potatoes) require much longer cooking than apples,
this recipe calls for prebaking them. This step can be done a day or two
ahead, making the dish easy to put together at the last minute. Heat oven
to 400 F. Bake yams 50 minutes or until soft but still retains shape. (This
can also be done in microwave. ) Cool yams until they can be handled. Peel
and slice yams crosswise. Reduce oven to 350 F. In shallow 1quart baking
dish, alternate apple rings and yam slices, overlapping their edges
slightly. In small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and cloves; stir in
orange juice and blend. Heat orange juice mixture, stirring, until
thickened; pour over apples and yams. Top casserole with nuts and bake 20
minutes or until apples and yams are tender. Serve. busted by sooz
