1. Peel yams and cut into 1-inch pieces. Combine in a bowl with apple cider and “marinate” for 30 minutes

2. Remove yams from cider and arrange in a large glass baking dish, reserving cider

3. Heat sugar, butter, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil, and add the cider. Stir until sugar dissolves

4. Pour cider and spice mixture over yams, tossing to coat

4. Cover baking dish tightly with foil
