Categories     Vegetable     Side     Sauté     Thanksgiving

Number Of Ingredients 5

4-6 medium sized yams, cooked
¼ cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar
¼ cup Kahlua
Pecan halves

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!
