CLASSIC CANDIED YAMS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Layer sweet potato slices in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

• 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.

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.
