2 large yams, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach, washed, dried, stems removed
Dressing:
2 cups apple cider
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Honey Tips
How Honey is Made
To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Place yams in a 9×13-inch pan. Drizzle with olive oil and honey. Sprinkle with rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil and bake 15 minutes. Carefully remove foil. Stir, cover and bake another 15 minutes until tender. While yams are baking, prepare dressing.
Dressing:
In a medium pan bring apple cider to a boil. Boil gently 15-20 minutes until reduced to 1/4 cup. Remove from heat. Stir in vinegar. Slowly whisk until well combined. Add pepper to taste.
To assemble:
Tear spinach into bite-size pieces and put in a large bowl. Toss with warm dressing to wilt spinach. Add warm yam chunks. Toss again and serve.
