MOM'S CANDIED YAMS WITH CARAMEL



Mom's Candied Yams with Caramel image

I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles     Sweet Potato Casserole Recipes

Time 55m

1 (15 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained and mashed
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 ounces caramel topping
2 cups marshmallows, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix sweet potatoes, pineapple, butter, brown sugar, salt, egg, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Pour half the sweet potato mixture into a 9x9-inch casserole dish.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right yams: Choose firm and plump yams with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid yams with cuts, bruises, or soft spots.
  • Peeling and cutting yams: Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the yams. Cut them into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Parboiling the yams: Parboiling helps remove excess starch and reduces the cooking time. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the yam pieces, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Drain the yams and set aside.
  • Preparing the apples: Peel and core the apples. Cut them into thin slices or small cubes, depending on your preference.
  • Choosing the right spices: A blend of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger adds depth of flavor to the casserole. Adjust the quantities to suit your taste preferences.
  • Using brown sugar: Brown sugar provides a rich, molasses flavor to the casserole. If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute granulated sugar.
  • Baking the casserole: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking. Bake the casserole until the yams and apples are tender and the top is golden brown.
  • Serving the casserole: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Conclusion:

Candied Yam and Apple Casserole is a delightful combination of sweet potatoes, tart apples, and warm spices. It is a classic side dish that is perfect for holiday gatherings or special occasions. With its vibrant colors and rich flavors, this casserole is sure to impress your guests. Whether you follow the recipe precisely or adapt it to your liking, the result will be a delicious and comforting dish that everyone will love.
