GREAT-GRANDMA'S CANDIED YAMS
This is my great-grandma's candied yams recipe. I started making them a few years ago, now everyone asks for them every year. The secret I think is in the orange juice and slow cooking.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add yams and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse twice with cold water. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes.
- While yams are soaking, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Mix white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.
- Peel and cut yams into chunks and place in a large baking dish. Dot with butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture so all yams are coated. Carefully pour enough orange juice into the bottom of baking dish to measure 1/2 inch.
- Bake in the preheated oven, basting often, until yams are tender and the liquid is thick and sticky, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Sprinkle with mini marshmallows. Turn on the oven's broiler. Broil until marshmallows are melted and toasty, about 5 minutes.

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:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes in a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until smooth. Drain the pineapple in a strainer, reserving the juice. Stir in about half the pineapple and half the pineapple juice; reserve the rest of the pineapple and juice for another use. Stir in the cinnamon, cloves and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture directly over the sweet potatoes.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the sweet potatoes are just tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the sweet potatoes are caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes more.
- Plate and serve immediately. Pour extra sauce from the bottom of the baking dish on top.
MOM'S CANDIED YAMS
My mom never wrote this recipe down and I call my favorite every year for the recipe! Of course she never wrote it down either!!! This is one of those recipes that takes me back when I taste it. I'm going to do my best to write what my "Aunt Poddy" tells me every year, using the amounts as best as I can, but I will still call her every year just to have her walk me through it!!!! My brother got to taste them this year and he said it was just like mom's, so maybe I'm getting it right!!!

- In a 9x13 oven-safe dish, stir together melted butter, sugar, vanilla, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and kosher salt well.
- Use your clean hands or a large spoon to toss the sweet potatoes in the butter-sugar mixture in the pan. Make sure each sweet potato chunk is well coated in the mixture and the potatoes are laying in an even layer. It's okay if it's not in one thin layer.
- Bake the candied yams in the preheated oven for an hour, until potatoes are fork-tender, the sugar and potatoes have caramelized, and there is syrup in the dish.
