Brandied Candied Yams Casserole Recipes

BRANDIED CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook 15 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain, and set aside.
• In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar, brandy, and salt. Add the sweet potatoes, and stir to coat. Cook, stirring gently, until sweet potatoes are heated through and well glazed.

BRANDIED YAMS

Steps:

• Cook yams in boiling water to cover 45 minutes or until tender; cool to touch.
• Peel and mash.
• Stir in sugar and next 6 ingredients; spoon mixture into a lightly greased 11x7 inch baking dish.
• Brush top with 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle with orange rind.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

BRANDY YAMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Boil the four medium yams with skins until tender. Then drain and peel the yams. Either slice or cut them into cubes and place in a buttered casserole dish.
• Boil the brown sugar, water, butter and raisins. Once the sugar is fully melted and the mixture has a good boil add the brandy and remove from heat. Pour mixture over the yams.
• Then add a layer of the small marshmallows on top of the yams (may add sliced almonds to your liking).
• Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes uncovered. Be sure to baste occasionally.

CANDIED YAMS CASSEROLE WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
• Put yams in a microwave safe bowl; heat in the microwave oven until softened, about 75 seconds.
• Transfer cooked yams to a large mixing bowl; add white sugar, milk, 1/2 cup butter, and eggs and beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Pour the yam mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Mix brown sugar, pecans, 1/2 cup butter, and flour together in a bowl with a wooden spoon until crumbly, sprinkle over the yam mixture to cover.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

CAROLE'S CANDIED YAMS WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut yams into large cubes and steam until fork inserts easily.
• Combine the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and gently heat until butter and brown sugar are melted.
• Place yams into a casserole dish and cover with sauce.
• Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Note: You can make this a day ahead which I find is actually better than when cooked the same day that they are served as the yams become somewhat carmelized.
• If you would like to make the dish a day ahead bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, let cool and refrigerate. The next day remove from the fridge early in the day to allow them to come to room temperature, then bake for 30 minutes before you want to serve them.
