BUTTERSCOTCH YAMS 
4 med. yams, cooked, cooled, peeled, sliced
1/2 c. light Karo corn syrup
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c. heavy cream or half and half
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

In heavy 2-quart saucepan combine all ingredients except yams. Stir constantly. Bring to a boil and boil over medium heat for 5 minutes. Cool down some before using. The sauce thickens and clings to yams better.

Arrange a single layer of sliced yams in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Spoon half of mixture over this layer of yams. Add second layer of yams and spoon rest of mixture over. (Can be basted during cooking.) Bake at 325 degrees until bubbly hot (about 30 minutes). Can be prepared ahead of time and cooked at the last minute.
