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.

6 medium sized yams, peeled and sliced
1 stick butter
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place the peeled and cut yams into a large pot and cover with water. Place the pot on the stove top, turn the heat to high, and let the yams boil for about 5 minutes. Then, drain the yams and set the to the side. In a separate pot, add 1 stick of butter and begin to melt it over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low and add in the granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Stir and cook for 1 minute, then turn the heat off. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Stir and add in the vanilla extract. Place the yams into a buttered baking dish and pour the candied mixture all over the yams. Fold in the ingredients and make sure the yams are well coated with the candied mixture! Place the yams in a preheated 375°F oven, uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove the yams from the oven and add the marshmallows on top. Place the yams back into the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until the marshmallows are cooked to your liking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yams: Fresh yams have a more vibrant flavor and texture than yams that have been stored for a long time.
  • Peel the yams before cooking: The skin of yams is tough and bitter, so it's important to peel them before cooking.
  • Cut the yams into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help prevent the yams from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Don't overcook the yams: Overcooked yams will be mushy and bland.
  • Add the marshmallows at the end of cooking: This will prevent them from melting completely.

Conclusion:

Candied yams and marshmallows are a classic Southern dish that is perfect for holiday gatherings. They are sweet, savory, and satisfying. With a few simple tips, you can make candied yams and marshmallows that are sure to impress your family and friends.
