You don't have to wait for New Year's Day, or Thanksgiving for Candied Yams. They're a delicious treat with most any meal. I love the flavor and texture of Sweet Potatoes, a.k.a. "Candied Yams," and usually treat myself to some when they're on sale. They take a while to make, but the wait is well worth it.
Candied Yams (Sweet Potatoes)
3 to 4 medium Yams
1/3 to 1/2 cup butter
1/3 to 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Bake Sweet Potatoes in oven at 375 degrees for one hour until potatoes are tender. While potatoes are baking, combine remaining ingredients in a medium-size pot and cook on medium high heat until mixture begins to bubble. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until mixture thickens and coats spoon. When potatoes have cooled, peel skin off. Slice potatoes about an inch thick and place in a buttered glass baking dish. Pour sauce mixture over potatoes and bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until light brown. Base potatoes with sauce once during baking.
