Dessert Mexican

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large yam or sweet potato, optionally peeled
  • 1 large piloncilo cone (unrefined Mexican sugar)
  • 4 sticks cinnamon
  • ½ water

Directions

  1. Place whole or thickly-sliced yams in a large baking dish.
  2. Place piloncilo cone atop the yams, then add water and cinnamon.
  3. Cover dish, and bake for about 60 minutes, basting the yams with the now sweetened cooking liquid as needed.

Notes

Any dark, unrefined sugar may be reasonably substituted for the piloncilo, including turbinado sugar, brown sugar, brown sugar with added molasses, muscovado, and even jaggery.
