2/3 cup brown sugar (or good sub. maple syrup)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Steps:

  • Drop the mixed ingredients on top by the spoonful.
  • *Important-Do not stir in the ingredients, or smash up the Yams slices.

  • Remove from oven and top with the Mini Marshmallows.
  • Place under low heat broiler just long enough for the Marshmallows to turn a golden brown.
  • ***2nd Method: This method is very quick, and saves time and oven space on holidays.
  • Microwave the prepared yams (see above) until bubbling hot on high for approximately 6-8 minutes.
  • Top the hot yams with the marshmallows and set aside long enough for the marshmallows to melt some.
  • Place under broiler set fairly low until the marshmallows are golden brown.
  • Note: Watch carefully, the Marshmallows brown very quickly under the broiler.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe squash for candying. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Peel and cut the squash into 1-inch cubes. The smaller the cubes, the quicker they will cook.
  • To make the sugar syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the squash cubes to the sugar syrup and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and translucent.
  • Remove the squash from the syrup and spread it out on a wire rack to cool.
  • Once the squash is cool, roll it in granulated sugar.
  • Store the candied squash in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied squash is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on its own or used as an ingredient in other dishes. It is a great way to use up leftover squash and is a perfect addition to holiday gatherings.
