CANDIED YAMS WITH CRANBERRIES



Candied Yams with Cranberries image

This is a delicious variation on candied yams. The fresh cranberries add a slight tartness that cuts down on the sweetness characteristic of traditional candied yams. This recipe was taken from a bag of miniature marshmallows many years ago and I recently re-discovered it. Hope you like it as much as I do!

CANDIED YAMS



Candied Yams image

Another of my mother's recipes that I've added upon. These are incredible. Actually better the second day. Once I was out of pumpkin when making muffins and substituted these leftovers all mashed up and my husband and children who insist they don't like yams/sweet potatoes loved them. Choose long, skinny yams.

PEACH CRANBERRY YAM BAKE



Peach Cranberry Yam Bake image

Another one from my friend at the club.

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cans (18 oz. each) candied yams, drained, such as s&w, reserve 2 tbsp. syrup
2 cans natural style peaches, drained, 16 oz. each, such as s&w
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce, such as s&w, 16 oz
2/3 cup shelled walnuts, coarsely chopped
parsley sprigs, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mix the candied yams and the peaches. Blend the cranberry sauce with the reserved syrup, from yams. Drizzle over yams and peaches. Add nuts; gently toss ingredients to mix well.
  • 2. Spoon mixture evenly into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes or microwave uncovered on high for 10 to 15 minutes or til hot and bubbly. Garnish with parsley sprigs as desired. Serves 8

Tips:

  • Select the Right Yams: Choose firm and plump yams with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid yams that are soft or shriveled.
  • Ensure Consistent Yam Sizes: Cut the yams into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. This helps them caramelize evenly and prevents some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking the yams. This can prevent them from caramelizing properly and make them more likely to steam rather than roast.
  • Monitor the Cooking Process: Keep an eye on the yams as they cook, stirring them occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. Adjust the cooking time as needed, depending on the size and type of yams used.
  • Use Quality Spices: Choose high-quality spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for the perfect balance of flavors. Freshly grated nutmeg and ground cinnamon provide the most intense flavor.
  • Orange Juice or Zest: Use freshly squeezed orange juice and zest for a burst of citrusy flavor that complements the sweetness of the yams and cranberries.
  • Homemade Cranberry Sauce: Consider making your own cranberry sauce using fresh cranberries for a tangy and flavorful addition to the dish.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, garnish the candied yams with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an attractive presentation.

Conclusion:

These candied yams with cranberries are a delightful side dish that combines sweet, tangy, and aromatic flavors. By following these tips, you can create a dish that is both visually appealing and bursting with flavor. Whether you serve it at a holiday gathering or as part of a weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and let's embark on a culinary journey that will tantalize your taste buds!
