Candied Yams image

Another of my mother's recipes that I've added upon. These are incredible. Actually better the second day. Once I was out of pumpkin when making muffins and substituted these leftovers all mashed up and my husband and children who insist they don't like yams/sweet potatoes loved them. Choose long, skinny yams.

This recipe is a waste of time. The yams were mushy and the glaze was too sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly and the yams turned out terrible. I won't be making this recipe again.

These candied yams were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! They were perfectly sweet and flavorful, and the texture was just right. I'll definitely be making them again next year.
