This recipe is one of my very favorite dishes in the whole wide world! Whether you call them sweet potatoes or yams, fresh is best—but the canned variety will still taste delicious.

How To Prepare
Heat the butter in a 4-quart saucepan over high heat; about half melted, add the remaining ingredients. Stir, cover and cook over high heat until mixture comes to a strong boil, about 10 minutes. Stir, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes. Discard the lemon and orange slices. Remove from heat and serve immediately, undrained.
