Cranberry Sweets --- Delicious

I make this recipe every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's a big hit and guests always want the recipe so I thought I'd share it with you. Enjoy!

Cranberry Sweets

½ cup flour

½ cup light brown sugar

½ cup oatmeal (uncooked)

¼ to 1/3 cup butter (or oleo)

1 teas. cinnamon

Combine above ingredients and make into crumbs. Reserve ½ cup mixture for topping.

40 oz. can of yams (drained well and cut into small pieces

~~~~~~ (OR about 3 lbs. fresh cooked yams, cut small)*

2 cups fresh cranberries

1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows

1/3 cup orange juice

1/3 chopped walnuts (or pecans)

Toss one cup crumb mixture with yams, cranberries and marshmallows. Place in large casserole and top with remaining crumbs. Add 1/3 cup orange juice. Top with 1/3 cup chopped walnuts. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Serve hot.

*(If you use fresh yams peel, cut small and par-boil 8 to 10 minutes before adding to casserole.)
