Candied Yams with Sage and Danish Bleu Cheese

4-5 large yams (or sweet potatoes), peeled and cut in 1" cubes
1 tbsp butter
1/2 cup regular molassas
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp fresh sage, finely chopped, plus a few leave for garnishing
1/3 cup crumbled extra creamy Danish Blue Cheese (or other creamy yet crumble-able blue)
Salt and Pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place yam cubes in a medium-sized pot; add cold water until the yams are covered by about two inches. Liberally salt the water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once the water has reached a boil, continue cooking the yams for about three minutes - until the yams are slightly tender, but a little underdone. they will continue to cook in the oven. Drain off the cooking liquid in a colinder. While the yams are cooking, melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to completely melt and finish foaming. Stir in the sage and saute for about 10 seconds. Add the molasses and honey and allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Put the yams in a baking dish (or casserole dish) so there is one even tight layer. Pour on the molasses mixture and toss the yams and molassas throughly. Season with salt and pepper, then bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Remove the yams from the oven, then sprinkle with crumble danish bleu cheese. Garnish with fresh sage leaves, (but be warned: you probably don't want to eat the garnish!) Enjoy!
