CANDIED YAMS
This recipe was given to me by an Alabama friend years ago. No Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner is complete at our house without these candied yams. I like the convenience of cooking them on the stovetop or in an electric frying pan so the oven is available for other foods.

Steps:
- 1. Cook the unpeeled yams in boiing water for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool until you can peel them. Cut in half lengthwise.
- 2. Melt butter, sugar, Karo syrup, and water together in a large, heavy skillet. Lay yams cut side down in this syrup and cook on low heat turning occasionally and basting occasionally so yams can candy on both sides.
- 3. Keep heat low so they do not scorch. Cook slowly until yams are tender and syrup flavor has permeated the yams. Takes abaout 30-45 minutes depending on how much you precooked your yams.
