Best 4 Jodies Holiday Yams Recipes

GREAT-GRANDMA'S CANDIED YAMS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add yams and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse twice with cold water. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes.
• While yams are soaking, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Mix white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a small bowl.
• Peel and cut yams into chunks and place in a large baking dish. Dot with butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture so all yams are coated. Carefully pour enough orange juice into the bottom of baking dish to measure 1/2 inch.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting often, until yams are tender and the liquid is thick and sticky, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Sprinkle with mini marshmallows. Turn on the oven's broiler. Broil until marshmallows are melted and toasty, about 5 minutes.

HOLIDAY YAMS

Steps:

• Add yams to a pot of boiling water, cover and after allowing water to return to a boil, cook for 30-35 minutes.
• Rinse in cold water.
• Remove the skins from the yams.
• Cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• Quarter the apples and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• Spray a large rectangular or oblong pan with cooking spray of your choice.
• Layer the yams and the apples.
• Pour the orange juice over both layers.
• Dot with butter or margarine if desired.
• Top with the raisins.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
• You can adjust these amounts to your own personal preference.
• Bake at 350º for 30-35 minutes.

SOUTHERN COMFORT HOLIDAY YAMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Drain and rinse the yams.
• In a food processor, combine together the yams (sweet potatoes), butter, spices, salt, brown sugar, orange juice, eggs, and Southern Comfort.
• Pour into rectangular casserole dish or lasagna pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes, checking to see that the center of the potato mixture is cooked.
• After it' s cooked, take it out and place large marshmallows end-to-end all over the top; they will melt slightly from the heat of the potatoes, but that's okay.
• About 10-15 minutes before you're going to serve the yams, place them under the broiler in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes until they're golden brown - be careful they don't burn.
• Serve and enjoy!
