Baby Yams with Honey Apple Syrup

Baby Yams with Honey Apple Syrup is one of my recipes of the day with Holiday Side Dish recipes week. I am posting three times on Monday, Wednesday and Friday along with many other bloggers. You can check out their daily recipes below.
I don’t always make a candies yam type dish for the holidays. But with this one I really like the flavor the apple cider adds over and above something like pineapple juice. Marshmallows are really optional with this recipe if you don’t like your yams cloyingly sweet. You can even divide the pan half and half. You decide.
