   6                    Yams -- washed
     1/2  ts            Cinnamon
   4      tb            Butter
   3      tb            Brown sugar
   1      tb            Lemon or orange juice
  12      oz            Can pineapple chunks -- drain, reserve juice
                        Corn starch -- to thicken

  Boil yams in large pot with water to cover; cook until barely
  tender--do not overcook.

  Remove and drain; cool. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut
  into chunks. Place in oven-proof casserole dish.

  In medium saucepan, place cinnamon, butter, brown sugar, lemon
  juice, pineapple with reserved juice. Cook, over medium heat, until
  simmering. Add 2 ts corn starch mixed with 2 ts water;  stir
  rapidly and allow to thicken.

  Pour liquid over yams, and sprinkle with more cinnamon if desired.

  Bake at 325°F for 30 minutes, stirring once during cooking.

  Makes 8 servings.
