Melanie's Holiday Yams

Here is a recipe from my friend Melanie. We used to work together way back in the 90's. She always made the best food and threw super fun Oscar parties. Thanks Mel!
Heres a recipe my mom and I came up with. I'm not a big fan of yams, but this isnt bad. Not the same old marshmallow stuff! LOL!

Holiday Yams
Ingredients:
4 large yams, peeled, cut into bite size chunks
1/2 C. butter
1/4 C. seasoned rice vinegar (found in the asian section of the supermarket)
1/2 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
a pinch to 1/4 tsp. salt 
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, plus some for garnishing 

Boil yams until tender. Combine remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Pour over yams and stir until combined. Garnish with walnuts.
Note: For extra flavor, you can toast the walnuts or use spiced walnuts.
