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 crispy topping, use a combination of oats, nuts, and seeds. Feel free to mix and match your favorites to create a unique flavor profile.
  • If you don't have orange marmalade, you can substitute another citrus marmalade or even a jam of your choice.
  • To make the dish more decadent, add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream before serving.
  • Be sure to use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the sweet potatoes and topping. A 9x13 inch dish is a good size.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked sweet potatoes. Just be sure to heat them through before adding the topping.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato orange pineapple crunch is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The sweet potatoes are tender and flavorful, the orange and pineapple add a refreshing brightness, and the crunchy topping provides a satisfying contrast.
