24 tablespoons salted butter 3 sticks
2 ¼ cups dark brown sugar

Drain the yams well. Reserve some of the liquid in case you need to add some back at the end.

Add yams and return to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.

If the yams need more liquid, add the reserved liquid from the can to thin the mixture a bit.
