A delicious recipe full of delightful surprises! Marmalade yams are genius: just enough sweet. Apple/onion saute is a 5-star idea in itself. And the gravy tastes so rich, you'd think it had a stick of butter, not just a pat. Wowwed the BF and neighbors: will make again, & for big occassions! - 10/5/10
