Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ½ pounds yams
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Roast whole yams in preheated oven until heated through but not quite tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir brown sugar, orange juice, and nutmeg with the melted butter to dissolve the sugar completely; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until the liquid thickens into a syrup, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Peel cooled yams. Cut yams into bite-size chunks; arrange in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Drizzle syrup over the yams.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, twice opening the oven to spoon syrup over the yams, until the chunks are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Arrange marshmallows over the yams and continue baking until the marshmallows are puffy and browned, about 10 minutes more.

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 8 medium), peeled
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly-packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 cup pecans

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.

This casserole is always a big hit at holiday meals. Yams surrounded with a thick sauce and topped with marshmallows... It's a vegetable that almost tastes like a dessert!

Provided by Jamie B

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 50m

Yield 4 quarts, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 (40 ounce) cans cut yams in syrup, syrup reserved
1/2 cup rice flour (or 1/4 c cornstarch as a GF alternative, or 1/2 c all-purpose flour if gluten-free doesn't matter)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter (half a stick)
10 ounces marshmallows (less if desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13x2 baking pan (or 4 quart casserole) with cooking spray.
  • Mix flour, brown sugar and salt in a microwavable 4 cup measuring cup.
  • Add syrup from yam cans so that the measuring cup contains about 2 1/2 cups. (You'll add about 2 cups of syrup, but some of the sugar and flour dissolves.) Stir.
  • Add butter, sliced.
  • Microwave, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick, but still pourable. This step took me about 10 minutes. I start with 90 seconds, then stir every 30 or 20 seconds. If it gets too thick, add water and stir.
  • Place yams in sprayed casserole. Pour sauce over yams. Bake until the sauce starts to bubble, about 25 minutes.
  • Top with marshmallows and return to the oven to brown, about 10 minutes.

THE BEST EVER CANDIED YAMS RECIPE - (4/5)



The Best Ever Candied Yams Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by jsides

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium sized yams, peeled and sliced
1 stick butter
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place the peeled and cut yams into a large pot and cover with water. Place the pot on the stove top, turn the heat to high, and let the yams boil for about 5 minutes. Then, drain the yams and set the to the side. In a separate pot, add 1 stick of butter and begin to melt it over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low and add in the granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Stir and cook for 1 minute, then turn the heat off. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Stir and add in the vanilla extract. Place the yams into a buttered baking dish and pour the candied mixture all over the yams. Fold in the ingredients and make sure the yams are well coated with the candied mixture! Place the yams in a preheated 375°F oven, uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove the yams from the oven and add the marshmallows on top. Place the yams back into the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until the marshmallows are cooked to your liking.

Tips:

  • Choose firm and brightly colored yams for the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and cut the yams into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Soak the yams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the yams to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Bring the yams to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the yams and return them to the pot. Add the butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir until the butter and sugar have melted and the yams are evenly coated.
  • Transfer the yams to a baking dish and top with marshmallows. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and melted.
  • Serve the yams immediately, topped with additional marshmallows, if desired.

Conclusion:

Candied yams with marshmallows are a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can make the best candied yams with marshmallows that will be the star of your next meal.
