Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pineapple juice, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir to combine and cook until sugars have dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place drained yams in a casserole dish. Add pineapple chunks. Pour sauce over top.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Add marshmallows to the top and continue to bake until golden and melted, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving so sauce can thicken.
