  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple drained
  • 8 ounces large marshmallows cut in half
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Drain the canned yams, transfer them to a large mixing bowl, and mash them with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, cinnamon, and salt, mixing well. Fold in the crushed pineapple.
