  • Bourbon or Dark Rum: For a more complex flavor, stir a splash of bourbon or dark rum into the syrup mixture before adding the sweet potatoes. The alcohol cooks off, leaving behind a rich, deep flavor that complements the sweetness of the yams.

Top with Crunch

  • Pecans: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped pecans over the yams during the last 10 minutes of baking. The nuts will toast in the oven, adding a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the tender yams.

Make It Ahead

  • Reheat and Repurpose: These candied yams reheat wonderfully, making them perfect for holiday prep. You can also repurpose leftovers into a sweet potato casserole or even use them to make pancakes the next morning.

Adjust the Sweetness

  • Less Sweet: If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
