YAMS OR SWEET POTATOES WITH PINEAPPLE AND NUTS



Yams or Sweet Potatoes with Pineapple and Nuts image

This is a dish that we make every Thanksgiving and is quite easy and tasty. There usually isn't too much left. And the orange yam color adds some interest to the table. A lot of this recipe is dependent on the amount of yams and 'eyeballing it' so the measurements aren't always exact. This can also be made ahead of time and reheated. Servings are estimated as we make this for about 22 adults and 8 children under 8 yrs of age. Please note that if recipe is to be made ahead of time and reheated, it should be on the moist side since it will need the additional liquid during reheating.

SWEET POTATO SALAD



Sweet Potato Salad image

You'll find that this dish is very versatile-more special than everyday but easy enough to make anytime. Sweet potatoes aren't as popular here in New England as in some parts of the country. I had a friend from Maryland many years ago, however, and we enjoyed swapping recipes. This one's a combination of hers and one I already had in my file.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup pineapple juice
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 (29 ounce) cans cut yams, drained
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pineapple juice, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir to combine and cook until sugars have dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place drained yams in a casserole dish. Add pineapple chunks. Pour sauce over top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Add marshmallows to the top and continue to bake until golden and melted, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving so sauce can thicken.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe yams: Look for yams that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid yams that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Peel the yams carefully: Use a sharp knife to peel the yams, being careful not to remove too much of the flesh. You can also use a vegetable peeler, but be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this can also remove too much of the flesh.
  • Cut the yams into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not cook through evenly.
  • Boil the yams until they are tender: The yams should be tender enough to pierce with a fork, but not so tender that they fall apart. This will usually take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Drain the yams and let them cool: Once the yams are tender, drain them in a colander and let them cool slightly. This will make them easier to handle.
  • Combine the yams with the other ingredients: Once the yams are cool, combine them with the other ingredients, such as pineapple, celery, onion, mayonnaise, and salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Yam pineapple salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer potluck or barbecue. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, you can add more or less mayonnaise, or you can add other ingredients, such as chopped nuts or raisins. No matter how you make it, yam pineapple salad is sure to be a hit!
