Candied Yams ~ Addimu for Orula

~ Sweet offering to the great diviner! ~
Ingredients:
-3 pounds garnet or ruby sweet potatoes (yams), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
-Salt
-2 cups orange juice
-1-1 1/4 cups brown sugar
-1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-4 Tbsp butter
Procedure:
Get a large pot of water boiling and add a generous pinch of salt. Boil the sweet potatoes for 5-10 minutes, or until they are not longer crunchy; you will finish cooking them in a moment. Drain and set aside.
 Mix the remaining ingredients in a shallow, wide sauté pan and bring to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and coat well with the sauce. Boil on high heat until the sauce reduces to a syrup, about 10 minutes.
