There is nothing like candied yams. We always have them on holidays so it's a treat for me because my husband only likes white potatoes. My mom used to make them anytime we had pork of any kind and this is her recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 large
- cans of yams, reserve liquid
- 1 small
- can of crushed pineapple
- 1 stick
- butter or margarine
- 1 1/2 c
- brown sugar, firmly packed
- pineapple juice with water added to make 1/2 cup
- chopped pecans and raisins, optional
How to Make Candied Yams
- 1Place yams in a baking dish, reserving juice. Add juice to a med sauce pan. Add in the stick of butter and brown sugar. Stir until it comes to a boil Add in the crushed pineapple and juice to make 1/2 cup. Bring to another boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour syrup over yams and top with raisins and pecans if you like. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for one hour. Baste occasionally with the juice.
