MY GRANDMA'S CANDIED YAMS WITH PINEAPPLE



My Grandma's Candied Yams with Pineapple image

Grandma was always in charge of Thanksgiving dinner in my family. This is my variation on her candied yams (sweet potatoes), and they are the best!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
One 20-ounce can crushed pineapple
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes in a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sugar and stir until smooth. Drain the pineapple in a strainer, reserving the juice. Stir in about half the pineapple and half the pineapple juice; reserve the rest of the pineapple and juice for another use. Stir in the cinnamon, cloves and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture directly over the sweet potatoes.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the sweet potatoes are just tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the sweet potatoes are caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes more.
  • Plate and serve immediately. Pour extra sauce from the bottom of the baking dish on top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh yams: Fresh yams will have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than older yams.
  • Peel the yams before cooking: This will help the yams to cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
  • Boil the yams until they are tender: The yams should be cooked until they are soft enough to be pierced with a fork.
  • Make the glaze while the yams are boiling: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop flavor.
  • Add the pecans to the glaze at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the pecans from burning.
  • Serve the candied yams immediately: Candied yams are best served warm, so they can be enjoyed right away.

Conclusion:

These candied yams with pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The yams are tender and sweet, and the glaze is rich and flavorful. The pecans add a nice crunch and a touch of sweetness. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
