Step-by-Step Instructions: Creating Your Candied Yams
Ready to fill your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of Southern-style candied yams? Follow these steps for a dish that’s sure to impress.
Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Ingredients
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
- Prep the sweet potatoes: Peel and slice your sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds. The even thickness ensures they cook uniformly, becoming perfectly tender.
Step 2: Make the Syrup
- Melt the butter: In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water.
- Add the flavorings: Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. If you’re feeling adventurous, zest half an orange into the mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Cook the syrup: Stir the mixture over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugars dissolve, forming a smooth, fragrant syrup.
Step 3: Simmer the Sweet Potatoes
