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.

MY GRANDMA'S CANDIED YAMS WITH PINEAPPLE



My Grandma's Candied Yams with Pineapple image

Grandma was always in charge of Thanksgiving dinner in my family. This is my variation on her candied yams (sweet potatoes), and they are the best!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
One 20-ounce can crushed pineapple
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes in a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until smooth. Drain the pineapple in a strainer, reserving the juice. Stir in about half the pineapple and half the pineapple juice; reserve the rest of the pineapple and juice for another use. Stir in the cinnamon, cloves and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture directly over the sweet potatoes.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the sweet potatoes are just tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the sweet potatoes are caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes more.
  • Plate and serve immediately. Pour extra sauce from the bottom of the baking dish on top.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, sweet potatoes for the best results.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the potatoes and apples. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Add the butter, sugar, spices, and water to the skillet and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer the potatoes and apples for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Stir the mixture occasionally to prevent the potatoes and apples from sticking.
  • Once the potatoes and apples are tender, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Serve the candied yams and apples warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Candied yams and apples are a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, savory, and sure to please everyone at your table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this delicious dish that will surely impress your friends and family. Enjoy this delightful dish!
