Candied Yams

General Description:

  • Sweet potatoes that have been cooked in a sugary syrup, resulting in a caramelized exterior and a tender, flavorful interior.
  • Typically served as a side dish during holiday meals, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    • Nutritional Value:

  • Rich in vitamin A (beta-carotene), which supports eye health and immune function.
  • Good source of dietary fiber, which promotes digestive health and satiety.
  • Contains antioxidants, such as vitamin C and manganese, which protect against cellular damage.

    • Preparation:

  • Can be made from fresh or canned sweet potatoes.
  • Sweet potatoes are peeled, cut into chunks, and boiled or steamed until tender.
  • A syrup made from sugar, butter, spices (such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger), and sometimes orange juice is prepared.
  • The sweet potatoes are added to the syrup and cooked until the syrup thickens and coats the potatoes.

    • Variations:

  • Brown Sugar Candied Yams
    Use brown sugar instead of white sugar for a richer flavor.
  • Maple Candied Yams
    Replace the sugar syrup with maple syrup for a sweeter and more complex taste.
  • Bourbon Candied Yams
    Add a splash of bourbon to the syrup for a hint of smokiness.
  • Marshmallow Candied Yams
    Top the candied yams with marshmallows before baking for a sweet and gooey topping.
