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.

CANDIED CANNED YAMS WITH MARSHMALLOWS (GF)



Candied Canned Yams With Marshmallows (GF) image

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.
