CLASSIC CANDIED YAMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Layer sweet potato slices in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium. Add sugars, stirring until well combined. Stir in cream; cook, stirring often, just until mixture comes to a simmer, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
• Pour sugar mixture evenly over sweet potatoes, and cover with lightly greased aluminum foil.
• Bake, covered, in preheated oven, about 40 minutes. Uncover and gently stir potato mixture. Bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 25 to 30 more minutes. Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon; pour syrup over potatoes. Serve immediately.

BRANDIED CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook 15 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain, and set aside.
• In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, brandy, and salt. Add the sweet potatoes, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring gently, until sweet potatoes are heated through and well glazed.

STOVE TOP CANDIED YAMS

Steps:

• Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and carefully cut them into slices (discard the ends and outer skin).
• Using a skillet on medium heat, proceed to melt the butter and stir in the spices and coconut sugar
• Carefully add in the potatoes with pink salt and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture
• Pour in the water to create a watery syrup then fold and stir with the sweet potatoes (don't worry this will thicken up)
• Reduce the heat to low, cover with lid and allow to cook on low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Continue to baste the yams with the syrup occasionally. Add a splash more water to loosen up the syrup if it's becomes too thick for your liking. The yams should be tender and soft to the touch - can prick with a fork. The butter and coconut sugar should have congealed into a syrup texture.
• Serve piping hot and enjoy!

BRANDY CANDIED BUTTERY YAMS

Steps:

• Wash yams, boil in a pot for a few minutes. Let them cool and then slide the skins off of them. Cut the yams into silver dollar like disks, a little over 1/8 inch thick. Heat and stir the sugar, zest, juice, butter, Brandy, nutmeg and cinnamon in sauce pan, do not let it get thick. Rub a little butter on the bottom and inside walls of a rectangular pyrex baking dish. Place a layer of the yams in the pyrex dish covering the bottom. Pour a small amount of the heated brandy mixture over this layer and then add a few shavings of the butter over that. Repeat this process of a layer of yams, sauce and butter shavings until the dish is full. Place this in a 375°F preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Be very careful when removing the dish from the oven not to spill any of the extremely hot liquid onto yourself.

CAROLE'S CANDIED YAMS WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut yams into large cubes and steam until fork inserts easily.
• Combine the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and gently heat until butter and brown sugar are melted.
• Place yams into a casserole dish and cover with sauce.
• Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Note: You can make this a day ahead which I find is actually better than when cooked the same day that they are served as the yams become somewhat carmelized.
• If you would like to make the dish a day ahead bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, let cool and refrigerate. The next day remove from the fridge early in the day to allow them to come to room temperature, then bake for 30 minutes before you want to serve them.
