Candied Yams
6 Large Yams
1 pound of butter
2 cups of packed light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg (leave it out if you don’t like nutmeg)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp vanilla
Clean and boil the yams until tender seems like it takes forever, usually about an hour.
Allow to cool (I do this overnight). Peel the yams and slice vertically then layer in a large roasting pan.
In a sauce pan combine the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla allow to come to a full boil stirring frequently to combine.
Pour the mixture over the yams and cover with foil and bake in the oven at 350 for 40-60 minutes.
I figured I would share my favorite Thanksgiving side dish with all of you. It’s sinfully good, but oh so bad for you.
Happy Holidays.
