MOM'S CANDIED YAMS WITH CARAMEL



Mom's Candied Yams with Caramel image

I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.

  • Add spices and flavors to taste: Feel free to experiment with different spices and flavors to create a sauce that suits your taste. Some popular additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract.
  • Use the sauce as a topping or dip: Caramel sauce made from sweet potatoes can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt. It can also be used as a dip for fruit, crackers, or cookies.
