Candied Yams Recipe 55

Steps:

• Cut the sweet potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Halve or quarter any extra-large pieces so that they are all similar in size.
• Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the Dutch oven and whisk until it forms a paste. Add the potatoes and stir well, spooning the sugar mixture over the potatoes to coat evenly.
• Cover and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally and gently to avoid breaking them up, until they are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife and the sauce resembles a thin syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until dark brown with a light scent of roasted nuts, about 8 minutes. Season the pecans with some salt while warm, let them cool completely and coarsely chop.
• Transfer the potatoes with their sauce to a large serving platter and sprinkle the pecans over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut off the ends of the yams, then peel and cut the yams into 1/2-inch-thick circles. Add to a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
• In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until thoroughly blended. Stir in the pineapple juice, cinnamon, vanilla and cloves. Taste the mixture to make sure it's sweet to your liking and pour over the yams. Spread the strawberry preserves on top of the yams.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the yams are semi-tender, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the yams are caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes more.
• Plate and serve hot. And don't forget to pour the sauce from the baking dish on top!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add yams and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Drain and transfer to a bowl with butter, 4 tablespoons brown sugar, cream, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Mash until all ingredients are incorporated and butter is melted. Transfer to a casserole dish and sprinkle with remaining brown sugar and cinnamon. Arrange pecans and marshmallows over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Pour can of Yams in a casserole (or oven safe cookware).
• Drain and save 1/2 cup of liquid and pour back into yams.
• Sprinkle Yams with Brown Sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and mix well.
• Pat Butter on top.
• Place in preheated 350' oven for 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes in a medium baking dish. Distribute butter pieces evenly over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Layer with miniature marshmallows.
• Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and marshmallows have melted.
