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:

  • For a crispier glaze, roast the sweet potatoes and pineapples separately, then combine them before glazing.
  • To make the glaze ahead of time, whisk together the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Store the glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • If you don't have Sriracha, you can use another hot sauce, such as Tabasco or cayenne pepper sauce.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
  • For a vegan version of the dish, use maple syrup instead of honey.

Conclusion:

This spicy glazed sweet potatoes and pineapples recipe is a delicious and easy way to add some heat and flavor to your next meal. The sweet potatoes are roasted until tender and caramelized, while the pineapples add a pop of sweetness and acidity. The spicy glaze is the perfect finishing touch, adding a little kick of heat that will keep you coming back for more. Serve this dish as a side dish or main course, and enjoy!
