Slow Cooker Candied Purple Yams Recipes

Steps:

• Line a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or spray with cooking spray.
• Place yams in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with water, pineapple juice, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to evenly distribute sauce.
• Cook on Low for 2 hours. Stir. Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to make a slurry. Add to slow cooker and stir to incorporate. Cook until yams are fork-tender and sauce has thickened, about 1 more hour.

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray.
• Place one layer of yam slices in the prepared slow cooker and sprinkle with brown sugar until covered. Repeat layers until all yams are placed in slow cooker.
• Mix melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a small bowl; pour over yams in the slow cooker.
• Cook until yams are soft when pricked with a fork, 4 hours on Low or 2 hours on High. Transfer yams to a serving dish.
• Pour juices from the slow cooker into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low until juices reach a soft boil.
• Stir together cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth; add to the juices in the saucepan and continue to boil, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Pour sauce over yams and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
