Bourbon Yams Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet, brown the pecans (can also be done in the oven).
• In a big pot, boil the yams for 12 minutes with water just covering them.
• After 12 minutes, drain the water and replace with ice cold water to stop the cooking--peel and slice the potatoes.
• In a big pan melt the brown sugar and butter together until saucy.
• Add the bourbon and optionally flambé.
• Add heavy cream, blend together.
• Add the sliced yams to the pan and mix around with the sauce.
• Add the pecans and mix together while heating for a little bit, but not to cook the yams completely.
• Pour everything into a casserole dish and heat in the oven at 375° for 25 minutes or until potatoes are cooked.

Steps:

• Wash and dry yams and bake for 1 hour or until they are soft to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly then remove skin. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. While the yams are baking, combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes until sauce is slightly thickened. Slice the yams 1/2-inch thick into a medium casserole dish. Pour syrup over them and return to the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and cook the potatoes whole, do not pierce. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Lightly squeeze the potatoes - if they are soft, they are done. Let cool.
• In a small saute pan over high heat, add the pecans and lightly toast. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, reduce the heat to medium, add the agave and spices, and allow to simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the whiskey and continue to simmer for 5 minutes more.
• Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Arrange the sweet potatoes, alternating with the apples. Pour the whiskey-pecan mixture over the top and place in the oven.
• Bake for 30 minutes, basting the top with the whiskey sauce once at 15 minutes.
• Remove and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook sweet potatoes; peel and slice crosswise then lengthwise or as desired.
• Cool and arrange in buttered casserole pan or dish. Combine remaining.
• ingredients, except parsley, and pour over potatoes. Bake at 350F degrees.
• until bubbling hot. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange sweet potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add sugar and bourbon and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Bake until sweet potatoes are tender and glazed, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, tossing every 30 minutes. Stir in butter before serving.

Steps:

• Put sweet potatoes in a large sauce pan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until heated through.
• Preheat oven to 350F
• Mash sweet potatoes
• Add sugar, butter, bourbon, vanilla and beat until well blended and smooth.
• Turn into a 2 quart shallow baking dish
• Sprinkle marshmallows on top
• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until marshmallows are golden brown.

Steps:

• Grease a shallow 3qt baking dish; set aside.
• Steam or boil the peeled yams until almost tender; cool and slice into approximately 1 1/2 inch slices (you want them to fit in a the 3qt baking dish in one layer).
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a small saucepan, simmer brown sugar, syrup, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and syrup thickens, about 5 minutes; Remove from heat and stir in whisky (or other liquor of choice).
• Drizzle syrup over yams. Cover with aluminum foil (at this point, they may be refrigerated until you're ready to bake them). Bake the yams, basting every 15-20 minutes, until syrup has thickened and absorbed (note: not all the syrup will absorb), about 1 1/4 hours. May be served hot, warm, or at room temperature.
