Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 (29 ounce) cans cut yams, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pineapple juice, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir to combine and cook until sugars have dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3
Meanwhile, place drained yams in a casserole dish. Add pineapple chunks. Pour sauce over top.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Add marshmallows to the top and continue to bake until golden and melted, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving so sauce can thicken.
