This certainly looks yummy:)
ReplyDeleteDear Claudia, I love these recipes. My mother used to make the sweet potatoes with the marshmallows every year for Thanksgiving. It was something I looked forward to so much! She would never make it except on Thanksgiving, I guess that is what made the holidays extra special those treats. Blessings, Catherine ox
ReplyDeleteI would call it "yummy bake"!!!Kisses,dear!
ReplyDeleteMy mother made something similar - once a year - on Thanksgiving. But this is more intense - more flavor. In the olden days, I would merely slice off the marshmallow layer. With this, I would dive right in!
ReplyDeleteYour sweet and gooey yam bake looks so yummy! And cherries? Never saw them before in a recipe like this! Love it.

These don't seem to be very traditional here in the northern states. I haven't had the baked marshmallow yams in a long time!
