CANDIED YAM BREAD (USING LEFTOVERS)

Candied Yam Bread (Using Leftovers) image

The solution to those yummy leftover candied yams! I don't measure when I make candied yams so sometimes the leftovers have more liquid. If there is some liquid in the candied yams, I use that in place of some of the milk, making sure I get 1/2 cup of total liquid. If the liquid drained from the candied yams looks particularly buttery, I use it in place of some of the butter, making sure to get 1/2 cup total for the fat measurement. If there isn't much liquid I just use the measurements stated in the recipe. This makes a yummy bread!

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.

Tips:

Choose the right yams: Look for firm, unblemished yams that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
Cook the yams thoroughly: The yams should be cooked until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This will help them to mash smoothly and avoid a grainy texture in the bread.
Use a food processor or mixer to mash the yams: This will help to create a smooth puree that will incorporate well into the batter.
Add spices and flavorings to the batter: Common spices used in candied yam bread include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add vanilla extract or citrus zest for a pop of flavor.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bread at the correct temperature: The bread should be baked at a moderate temperature (350°F) for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Candied yam bread is a delicious and festive way to use up leftover yams. It's a moist, flavorful bread that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its sweet and spicy flavor, candied yam bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
