CANDIED YAMS

For years my mom made canned yams and baked them with marshmallows on top. This was my first experience with fresh yams and I became a convert (no more canned for me!!!) It of course is a great side dish to turkey on Thanksgiving.

MOM'S CANDIED YAMS



Mom's Candied Yams image

My mom never wrote this recipe down and I call my favorite every year for the recipe! Of course she never wrote it down either!!! This is one of those recipes that takes me back when I taste it. I'm going to do my best to write what my "Aunt Poddy" tells me every year, using the amounts as best as I can, but I will still call her every year just to have her walk me through it!!!! My brother got to taste them this year and he said it was just like mom's, so maybe I'm getting it right!!!
