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.

The yams were a bit dry and the glaze was a bit too thick. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These candied yams were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I've tried many candied yam recipes, but this one is by far the best. The yams are cooked to perfection and the glaze is just the right amount of sweetness.
