candied yams 3

Place the yams in a 4 quart electric slow cooker. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange juice. Spoon the yams. Cover and cook on the low heat setting 5½ to 6 hours, stirring once. If possible, until yams are tender. Stir in the brandy and orange zest. Sprinkle the marshmallows and pecans over the top. Cover and cook 5 minutes longer, or until the marshmallows are melted. Serve immediately.
