Boil whole yams 20 to 40 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain and
cool, then cut into 1/4 inch thick slices. Arrange slices, overlapping, in
a buttered shallow casserole. Dot with butter, then sprinkle with brown
sugar and raisins. Drizzle with rum. Bake uncovered at 350 or until bubbly
and glazed. This recipe is adapted from Sunset "Easy Basics for Good
Cooking". It is absolutely my favorite because it is not gooey sweet.
Besides, I love raisins !
