Cinnamon Candied Yams Food

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.

GRANDMA'S CANDIED YAMS

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!

KATHI'S TOASTED MARSHMALLOW CINNAMON CANDIED YAMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Drain the syrup from the cans of yams and add the yams to a 2 quart (approximately 8x8) oven-safe glass or stoneware baking dish.
• Cut the butter into 6 or more pats and distribute as evenly as possible atop the dish of yams.
• Combine the optional spices and sprinkle evenly over the yams, if desired (adds an aroma/flavor reminiscent of pumpkin pie).
• If using unsalted butter, take just a dash of salt between your fingers and rub them together to sprinkle evenly over the yams, if desired.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over all the yams and butter pats.
• Sprinkle the red hot cinnamon candies evenly over the yams, butter and brown sugar layers.
• Add one layer of miniature marshmallows over the top of the yams, butter, and brown sugar layers. (I used most of a 10 oz bag - you may be able to use the whole bag depending on the size/depth of your baking dish).
• Transfer the baking dish to a cookie sheet, jelly roll pan or shallow roasting pan to prevent any spills of sticky residue from ending up on the inside bottom of your oven and/or caked to your oven racks.
• Bake at 350°F for a total of 30-40 minutes.
• After 5-15 minutes, check on the marshmallows - they should be browning and will smell toasty.
• Once satisfied with the level of marshmallow browning, make a tin foil tent and place over the baking dish, careful not to touch or lay the tin foil on the marshmallows.
• Continue to bake for the remaining time or until desired doneness.
• Remove from oven and let set to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
