Candied yams

• 3 medium yams (1 1/2 cups)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp. flour, sifted
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. orange peel
• 1 tsp. soft tub margarine
• 1/2 cup orange juice

Cut yams in half and boil until tender but firm (about 20 minutes). When cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/4-inch thickness. Combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated orange peel. Place half of the sliced yams in a medium-sized casserole dish. Sprinkle with spiced sugar mixture. Dot with half the amount of margarine. Add a second layer of yams, using the rest of the ingredients in the same order as above. Add orange juice. Bake uncovered in oven preheated to 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
