Jeans Sugar Free Candied Yams Wout Marshmallows Recipes

SUGAR-FREE CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place sweet potatoes into the prepared dish. Layer apples on top, followed by pineapple with can juices.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are soft, 30 to 45 minutes.

CANDIED YAMS AND MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roast whole yams in preheated oven until heated through but not quite tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool.
• Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir brown sugar, orange juice, and nutmeg with the melted butter to dissolve the sugar completely; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook until the liquid thickens into a syrup, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Peel cooled yams. Cut yams into bite-size chunks; arrange in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Drizzle syrup over the yams.
• Bake in the preheated oven, twice opening the oven to spoon syrup over the yams, until the chunks are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Arrange marshmallows over the yams and continue baking until the marshmallows are puffy and browned, about 10 minutes more.

CANDIED CANNED YAMS WITH MARSHMALLOWS (GF)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13x2 baking pan (or 4 quart casserole) with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, brown sugar and salt in a microwavable 4 cup measuring cup.
• Add syrup from yam cans so that the measuring cup contains about 2 1/2 cups. (You'll add about 2 cups of syrup, but some of the sugar and flour dissolves.) Stir.
• Add butter, sliced.
• Microwave, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick, but still pourable. This step took me about 10 minutes. I start with 90 seconds, then stir every 30 or 20 seconds. If it gets too thick, add water and stir.
• Place yams in sprayed casserole. Pour sauce over yams. Bake until the sauce starts to bubble, about 25 minutes.
• Top with marshmallows and return to the oven to brown, about 10 minutes.

JEAN'S SUGAR-FREE CANDIED YAMS W/OUT MARSHMALLOWS!

Steps:

• 1. The amount of Yams is up to you. I usually buy about 10-12 yams and it will feed at least 12 people depending on your eaters. Mamma used the old method for this recipe.. a pinch of that, a drizzle of this and a pad of that... lol
• 2. Wash and Peel your yams
• 3. chop yams cottage style
• 4. place yams in the bottom of a foil pain large enough to have a single layer of yams, this makes the candy process yummier,
• 5. drizzle orange juice over yams - lightly covered - I probably only use barely an 1/8 of cup
• 6. take butter and slice into pads. Place butter pads between yam slices - nothing fancy just thrown them down,
• 7. Drizzle honey over yams til well covered, or to your liking.
• 8. Pour your Pure Maple Syrup over the yams covering really well. For a huge pan of yams, I use a full bottle of syrup. Adjust your syrup accordingly. You want them well covered but not drowned as it just takes too long to candy if there is too much liquid.
• 9. cover with foil and place in an oven at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes. Check and if they are not tender cook bit longer. Adjust your cooking time accordingly, you want your yams but not mushy, just cook til tender.
• 10. Once your yams are tender throughout, take the foil off and put pan back in an oven of 425 and bake until your yams are sticky, gooey and fully candied. It takes about 30-45 minutes longer for them to candy (depending on quantity of yams in pan). Make sure your pan is in the middle of the oven so they don't burn too easily.
