Slow Cooker Candied Yams image

An easy and straightforward recipe for candied yams. Cooking in the slow cooker frees up your oven, especially during the holidays when you can't decide what to put in the oven first. Can be made 2 to 3 days in advance and reheated in the microwave.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups Yam, raw
1 ¼ cups water
¾ cup pineapple juice
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup salted butter, cubed

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my yams turned out really dry. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These yams are a great way to use up leftover yams. I made them after Thanksgiving and they were a delicious and easy side dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the yams turned out too mushy for my taste. I think I'll try cooking them for less time next time.

These yams were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I think I'll try using less brown sugar next time.

I've tried many candied yam recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The yams were perfectly tender and the glaze was just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
