Yam Sundae

Take a yam, preferably garnet (the darker red variety). Bake in a 350 degree oven for a couple of hours or so, until the meat has visibly shrunken from the skin. The juices will have somewhat caramelized. Let cool at least enough to handle. Slit skin open and scoop out a reasonable serving into a cup or small bowl. Top with two or three tablespoons of crushed, shelled walnuts and an equal amount of maple syrup. Nuke for 40-50 seconds to heat all together. A light grating of sweet spice such as allspice, nutmeg and or cloves is optional.
