Best Brandied Candied Yams Casserole Recipes

CLASSIC CANDIED YAMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Layer sweet potato slices in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium. Add sugars, stirring until well combined. Stir in cream; cook, stirring often, just until mixture comes to a simmer, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
• Pour sugar mixture evenly over sweet potatoes, and cover with lightly greased aluminum foil.
• Bake, covered, in preheated oven, about 40 minutes. Uncover and gently stir potato mixture. Bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 25 to 30 more minutes. Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon; pour syrup over potatoes. Serve immediately.

GRANDMA'S CANDIED YAMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut off the ends of the yams, then peel and cut the yams into 1/2-inch-thick circles. Add to a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
• In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until thoroughly blended. Stir in the pineapple juice, cinnamon, vanilla and cloves. Taste the mixture to make sure it's sweet to your liking and pour over the yams. Spread the strawberry preserves on top of the yams.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the yams are semi-tender, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the yams are caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes more.
• Plate and serve hot. And don't forget to pour the sauce from the baking dish on top!
