gramma snowball's candied yams
(1 RATING)
I watched my Gramma (I'm her namesake) make these year after year, for Thanksgiving, Christmas AND Easter, and never saw her consult an actual written recipe. So all the spices are to your own taste! I love nutmeg and cloves, so I add a little more of them than the cinnamon.
