    Ms Chris, candied sweet potatoes was a favorite that my Mother mastered. I lost her 35 years ago, and never had her recipe. I’ve tried so many over the years, and NOTHING came close to right flavor and consistency. I came across your recipe last year, and my family’s holiday and special occasion (or just plain ‘Sunday’) dinners changed forever! I mean an absolute GAME-CHANGER! OMGoodness! This is it!!! Btw, same deal on your sweet potato pie recipe. I used to pay folks to bake me a few for the holidays. NEVAH again!! You did this! Thank you to the person who shared this with you as well. I am happy to pass it on and to share you with my family and friends! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    True story I got a notice about 2 or 3 wks ago from google, I had over 1 million searches; out of ALL the cooks of any food on youtube or any other; you are the greatest cook I have witnessed and enjoyed; it is often said to you, ur viewers wish they could eat ur food & get a plate & I know they aren't exaggerating. When you finish cooking we can actually taste & smell it. And it seems like you're getting ready to hand us our plate ⚘⚘⚘👏👏👏 you share your recipes, personality, & love with us. We can really follow your directions to the T, your words you say, you scraping the last out of the container - old school not wasteful, You keep it real, I see all kinds of people complimenting you & different ages as well; there a lot of ways of ministering & showing love & kindness. GOD BLESS YOU forever ⚘🕯

    This popped up along with your recent version of parboiling the sweet potatoes and cooking the, in the oven. I will try the oven method, however this is my favorite way of preparing candied sweets. I’ve been around since your original version of this recipe. I will always be grateful for your recipe. I could never master candy sweets. I think I told you your cooking style is so similar to mine for some recipes. I always refer to your channel for reference especially for anything different I haven’t tried. I’m so glad to see your channel growing and growing.

  • @WholeBibleBelieverWoman
    @WholeBibleBelieverWoman 4 роки тому +1

    Wow. I just made these with your recipe but a different method once the taters were cut into slices. I made a mildly thick roux with the half-plus stick of butter, approx. 3/4 cup sugar, 2 TBL. cinnamon, a couple tsp. nutmeg, molasses (I use a little molasses to make it into brown sugar -- 1 TBL to 1 cup sugar) and the 1/2 cup COLD water with the 2 TBL cornstarch that has been stirred well before adding. Just when it began to get thick I poured it over the sweet taters (in a 3-quart Corning Ware casserole dish) and put a glass lid on it and put it in a 325-degree oven. After about an hour I pulled it out just to turn the taters over a bit and make sure it was well mixed, covered it again and put it back into the oven. Once the taters started creating a lot of liquid visibly, they were ready. I added the lemon extract and vanilla extract at the very end (not to cook them), first mixing in about 1/4 cup maple syrup, mixing it together and pouring it over the cooked sweet taters. My housemate said she NEVER liked candied sweet potatoes but she LOVES these, and said they were not too sweet and so delicious she could almost make herself sick just continuing to eat them until she couldn't eat them anymore, LOL.
