Steps:
- Cook yams in saucepan with boiling water to cover; simmer until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Remove from pan and let cool. Peel. Cut yams into serving size pieces. In heavy skillet, melt butter with sugar. Add Kahlua; cook 1 minute. Add yams; turn until brown on all sides. Cover. Reduce heat, cook about 15 minutes. Turn yams once more before serving. Sprinkle with pecan halves before serving. Makes 4-6 servings.
Tips:
- To ensure your yams are cooked evenly, select yams that are of uniform size.
- Use a sharp knife to score the yams before boiling them. This will help the yams to cook more quickly and evenly.
- Do not overcook the yams, as this will make them mushy. To check if the yams are done, insert a fork into the center of a yam. If the fork slides in easily, the yam is cooked.
- While the yams are boiling, prepare the Kahlua-sugar syrup. This syrup will add a delicious flavor to the yams.
- Once the yams are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Then, place the yams in a baking dish and pour the Kahlua-sugar syrup over them.
- Bake the yams in a preheated oven until they are heated through and caramelized. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the Kahlua-candied yams warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
