Recipe by Jamie Purviance
Serves: 4 to 6
Prep time: 25 minutes
Grilling time: 5 to 6 minutes
Ingredients
Glaze
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon bourbon, divided
6 tablespoons light corn syrup
6 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
2 orange-fleshed yams, each 2-1/2 to 3 inches in diameter and 8 to 9 inches long, peeled
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
2. In a medium, heavy saucepan over high heat, combine 1 cup of the bourbon, the corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, and mint. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue boiling until the syrup is reduced and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set a strainer over a measuring cup or small bowl and strain the glaze, pressing down to release all of the glaze (you should have about 3/4 cup). Mix in the remaining 1 tablespoon bourbon, the vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Put half of the glaze into a small saucepan.
3. Cut the yams diagonally into 1/2-inch slices, each 3 to 4 inches long. Cook the yams in the pot of boiling water until tender but not falling apart, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Brush the yams generously on both sides with the remaining glaze and season each with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F).
5. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the yam slices over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until well marked and heated through, 4 to 5 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a platter. Warm the glaze in the saucepan over medium heat. Drizzle the glaze over the yams and top with the mint. Serve warm.
