Ingredients:

• 5 yams or sweet potatoes
• 2 cans of crushed pineapple
• 1-2 cups of nut pieces (walnuts, pecans, or a combination)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Yams: Begin by peeling the yams and cutting them into thirds or quarters, ensuring uniform pieces for even cooking.

2. Boil the Yams: Place the prepared yams into a large pot of boiling water and cook until they are soft and fork-tender, typically around 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

3. Mash the Yams: Once the yams are cooked through, drain the water and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them until smooth and lump-free.

4. Add Pineapple: Incorporate one can of crushed pineapple into the mashed yams, mixing well to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the mixture.

5. Adjust Consistency: Depending on your preference and the desired consistency, continue adding crushed pineapple until the mixture reaches the desired level of moisture. This step allows for some personalization, so feel free to adjust according to taste.

6. Add Nuts: Once the desired consistency is achieved, gently fold in the nut pieces, whether it’s walnuts, pecans, or a combination of both. These add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the dish.

7. Final Touches: Taste the mixture and adjust any seasoning if necessary. If you find the consistency too dry, consider adding a smaller can of crushed pineapple or a splash of pineapple juice to moisten it further. This step ensures that the dish remains moist and flavorful, especially if preparing in advance and reheating later.

8. Serve or Store: Once prepared, this dish can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator if making ahead of time. To reheat, simply warm it in the oven or microwave, adding a bit of extra liquid if needed to maintain its moistness.

9. Enjoy: Whether served as a side dish for Thanksgiving or any other occasion, this yam and pineapple medley is sure to delight your taste buds and impress your guests with its irresistible flavor and vibrant presentation.
