I’m definitely gonna do this because the oven takes forever. When you thickened the sauce at the end you didn’t add a thickener right? Just let it cook.
Broooooo you made me famous with my family!!! My girls mom had me make them for her today and got a text from my aunt in Florida and my sister in Kentucky asking for the recipe!!! I started cooking them last year around this time and got them going crazy now!!!
WOOOOOOW WOOOOOW WHAT A GOOD DIRECTION ON HOW TO DO SWEET POTATOES CANDIEDYAMS I FOLLOWED YOUR DIRECTION AND MY CANDIED YAMS TURNED OUT SOOO DELICIOUS!!! 😋😋😋😋😋 YUMMY YUM! THANK YOU !!😃
Y’all my grannie is rolling over. I added this right here to her menu box. I didn’t have an orange, so I crossed my fingers and used orange juice. When I tell you my yams were scraped clean yesterday, this will be the recipe I use from now on. I will be getting some oranges in the next few days to make more for Thanksgiving. I love that I could make them on the stove and the whole house was not hot. Thank you Chef.
Hah, such a difference. I'll definitely use this recipe, but up here in Wisconsin and such, we try to use the oven as much as possible to WARM UP the house! Enjoy your Southern weather folks! =]
I used this recipe last year (my first time making them) and my family had nothing but good things to say. I’m making then again this Thanksgiving 🧡 thank you chef AB!
I made candied yams exactly like this years ago at a fund raiser. The only difference was I used fresh lemons. Someone asked me if it was a secret family recipe, or could I share it! I always share my recipes. It’s the Best feeling when somebody loves what you bake or cook. Your yams 👀 so delicious!
So I just wanted to let you know that I officially made my entire menu based off of all of your recipes. I am so excited for this blessing that you have given to the world. You are truly a phenomenal man and I am so grateful because I can’t cook a lick, but watching your videos has really helped me become a cooker.
This is my first holiday season where I'm the main cook instead of shopping helper, prep, and cleanup crew and I'm not out here *quite* dying because of your generosity with culinary knowledge. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏🙇💧
Just a suggestion. It would be great to see from you a whole entire Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinner which would probably be an hour or so long. I love the glowing colors and quality of your videos.
@@jacquelinezenga7119 Basic Cooking is always good, everyone should learn basic cooking, he does a good job there. The Ethnic stuff...is a big turn off for me.
I'm doing candied "yams" for the first time this year. I was planning on doing it in the oven, but you converted me!! 25 minutes on the stove top won me over
I enjoyed this video very much. The memory of mother making sweet potatoes for dinners and holidays was always worth the wait. Sweet potatoes we always had gardening and the yams we're from the can as I thought, because I never had yams til I got out on my own. So I thank you for sharing the difference between the two. I'm also a fan of purple yams.. I'll say you're Never to old to learn anything about cooking, cause I never seen sweet potatoes cooked without adding water. Always was cooked in water, stick of butter cinnamon, dash salt, sugar, brown sugar. Beautiful presentation.
Your stove top candy yams are the BEST I've ever tasted. Cooking the sauce in a pan with the butter and sugars really made the difference. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
My Mom always made the best candied yams on the stovetop each year for Thanksgiving. She passed away 3 years ago and my sister, that isn’t known as the cook/baker in our family, somehow has all her recipes. I’ve been longing for candied yams…these seem similar to hers. I haven’t been into holiday dinners since her and dad’s passing 10 months apart, but I may make these, now that I have your recipe. Thank you and God Bless!
@isolde ward I’ve asked her for the recipes and she said she wanted them. I asked for copies and never got them. I re-asked for specific ones, like this one, and never got it. Breaks my heart. She has my Grandma’s recipes too cuz Mom had them. Everyone called me “Young Thelma”…my Grandma’s name…cuz I always cook and bake from scratch like her. I have none of them. Just memories.
I'm in the same boat. Mom always made my favorite sweet potatoes, but she passed away 3 years ago, too. I'm taking over family Thanksgiving hosting duties this year and I'm trying to recreate some of her recipes.
@@LittleDzz That's just ridiculous of your sister ... get you some recipe cards & tell her you're coming over, put on the coffee ☕️ ☕️ then you sit down & copy them right there in front of her so she knows she'll still have them. That was your mother & grandma too ... they'd want you to have them 🥰 Pray all goes well 🙏🏻
You cracked me up when you said you got INDIGNANT eating that sample!! 🤣😁😋 On a serious note, you really are helping me teach my daughter how to make some of this soul food I never got taught to make as a young person. Thank you! 💜
Yw Christy M, RN. That's warming to hear that I'm helping you and your daughter. I'm thinking of doing a series for the young up and coming chefs next year.
@@SmokinandGrillinwithAB That would be awesome! 👍🏽👍🏽 Today was my first time making candied yams. I usually make sweet potato casserole, but I used your recipe and it's looking good! 😁 HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🦃
Maybe it's soul food, but us white folks sure do love some candied sweet potatoes on the holidays! I learned something today, I never had put seasonings in them, no wonder mine were bland.
God, thank you for protecting us at Thanksgiving and each and every day. Thank you that you will have us prepared for unexpected guests and that there will be enough for unexpected guests and that no one feels unwelcome or unwanted or uncomfortable or hated. God, protect us from our enemies though. Please. Thank you. Each and every day. I pray for salvations and your strength over mankind God, even in the last days. In your holy name. Amen 🙏
Amen! And we are living in the end of days! Jesus is Soon Coming to call His bride to the marriage supper! Glory to Our King! Preach to all the inhabitants of the Earth! I will tell of His Great Love and Goodness to the lost and dying world!!! Watching and waiting for Our Groom!!!
I just put all the ingredients in the pot and added the sweet potatoes. I snuck a tiny taste and about melted to the floor. The orange juice and vanilla extract took it to the next level. Thank you for this wonderful recipe and easy instructions.
My mom used to make the best candied yams for Thanksgiving & Christmas. It was one of our favorite dishes. There was rarely any left when the meal was done. However, I've looked online at several recipes for this dish & everyone of them had granulated white sugar. Mom never used white sugar, just the brown sugar. She didn't add any salt & she boiled the potatoes, when they were soft, she'd remove them from the stove, pull the skin off, slice them, place them in a dish & pour the brown sugar mix over them & bake them. Definitely no oranges or marshmellows.. also, boiling them makes it easier to peel off the skin & slice them. She won't be with us this Thanksgiving, she passed in August. But we'll still have the candied yams as someone will make them. And we'll talk about mom & her yams. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy your family. They won't be here forever.
Sorry to hear that you lost your mother, nothing on earth like a real mother. May God continue to follow you with her presence each and every holiday season❤❤❤❤
I have tried for years to make yams like my mama, and I could never. She’s showed me but they never turn out like hers. I have used this recipe 5 times and I have never been disappointed. This is it!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH AB ❤
I made this for thanksgiving - O M G- pure love - best I’ve ever made!!! Old method is out the window. My mom is a tough one- i got a ‘they are good’ which means she really liked them. Anytime she had leftovers- it was always on her plate! Now the next test will be my brother at some point.
Honestly my mom made yams on the stove top the same way! Mom never used to make them in the oven. It was always on top and the same recipe. This was a treat to see you doing it my momma way! Brought back memories for sure for me!! Thank you!!! God bless!!
I'm making this for my mom on Thanksgiving AB. She takes her candied yams very serious and its the highlight for the holiday dinner. I'm placing my life in the hands of this recipe. I don't want a beat down from my mom this year. lol Looks great AB and I'm sure she'll love it.
Ummmmm, Sir!!! This recipe is hands down theeeeeeee best!!! I can’t see making them in the oven again. I had to omit the orange because I didn’t have it on hand so I’ll be making this another time with the orange to see which I prefer… Thank you kindly!
I followed your recipe and made these candied yams today for Thanksgiving. It was my first time ever making candied yams. Everyone loved them and kept talking about how good they were - thank you! 🙏🏽
Between this video and Dani Rose’s video I made the perfect yams! His tip on making the glaze first and cooking it down will help prevent scorching. This is a game changer. My family loved it!
It’s my anniversary today and i am making Oxtails , rice & peas , baked macaroni , collard greens , corn bread and these candied yams 🥰 can’t wait to taste them !! Look amazing.
Would Love to have the opportunity to cook with you AB!! 🙂Here is a a little tip that I have found, not many people know.. When cooking pasta, use a metal spoon to swish the pasta in the water, but leave the spoon in the pot, your pasta will not stick 🙂most people don't believe it lol
I love this recipe; I started making my yams stove top many years ago because I wanted quick and easy, as well as using orange juice, lemons, apples and pineapples.
I made candied yams for the first time yesterday. I followed this recipe exactly. They were a hit! My fiancé loved them and told me to stash this recipe so I can make it again and again. Thank u!!
Great recipe! I've made yams before but I was taught to put everything in the pot! I love the fact that you prepare the sauce first with more ingredients! Love the vanilla and orange! I'm all in this Thanksgiving!
Ok, it's official. This is on the menu for tonight Update (3 hours from initial post): This recipe is delicious! I used about 1/4 cup of orange juice (didn't have an orange) and only used half a cup of sugar and brown sugar, and it was still sweet and delicious. I let my daughter taste test and she loved it. Keeping this recipe in deck!
I made your recipe for the candy yams this Thanksgiving and it was a huge success. Every year during the holidays my husband tells me about his mothers candied yams. I tried to find recipes that sounded like his description but they didn’t make the cut. Omg your recipe is a keeper. I’ve been asked to make it for Christmas too. Thank you
I CAN'T with you, AB!! I'm watching this at work and when you said "I don't know whether to pat myself on the back, or run outside and testify", I literally busted out laughing!! I love your videos and your humor! Keep 'em coming. Oh, and by the way, I'm using this recipe for this Thanksgiving since I was asked to make the sweet potatoes! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!🦃
I made candied yams so good that I was asked was it peach cobbler because of the aroma from the orange and marshmallows. But that was when I used the oven. I now use the stove top the way you do. Much faster which I love and they’ll still fool you and make you think you’re about to eat peach cobbler. 😅
Thanks to you AB my Thanksgiving this year about to be bussin bussin! You’ve given me the confidence and techniques I need to show out for the family! ❤
This is the best side dish ever! I made it for Thanksgiving, and my family loved it! We ate for dessert the next day too. I’m making it again tonight for tomorrow! Thank you for sharing your love and talent for cooking with the world.
I tried this for Thanksgiving and it was AMAZING!!! I was a little skeptical about the fresh orange juice but I'm a believer now!!! Thank you for sharing!😊
Made this and your Mac and Cheese for Friendsgiving . You my good sir are a certified G in the kitchen , it all came out amazing and it was so simple . Hands down best content on UA-cam!
This is My third year using your recipe. Never found one better. Plus you are very entertaining. I love you sweetheart. God bless you. Happy blessed Thanksgiving to you and all your loved one!!!!
My mother used similar recipe but she would boil the yams first, then peel, then slice the yams length wise. We looked forward to her sweet potatoes especially during the holidays.
That's the way my grandma use to make them. She said bcuz it was easier to peel that way! I not longer use that method. I peel mines first then bake instead of boil. I feel when you boil them that's boiling out the Nutrients that's needed! I d I everything else they same as she did other than boiling them first!
I made these Yams for Thanksgiving and they were such a big hit with my family - totally amazing! One thing I did do differently was to add pineapple juice because I didn't have any oranges and I also added pineapple tidbits and pecans. It truly was a hit! Thank you AB - will be makeing these again and again! Love your videos by the way.
OH MY GOD that looks incredible 😋 I've been making the yams every year at Thanksgiving for at least 25 years. I can honestly say it's time to change up the recipe. Thanks AB!
The quality of your videos have come a long way from a couple years ago. Nothing goes unnoticed. I’ve been following you for a couple years now. I am so happy when you come out with new videos and recipes. You always come thru for us! Thanks AB! Wishing you a great thanksgiving!
Tried my hand at candied sweet potatoes a couple weeks ago for the first time. Time to level up with this one AB!!! Literally my favorite side at Thanksgiving
I make this exact recipe only I add molasses. They are absolutely amazing! I’ve also done Miami’s Hasselbeck style with a little bit of Worcestershire sauce, molasses, and time. I still do them stove top, but covered, and they are quite amazing! I love your videos, and I love that you make everything so real and convenient! Keep cooking and doing what you do and thank you and have a blessed holiday!
Yess, AB. I make mine just like this, the stove part is genius. I also add cut up apples and pears. I get a phone call from my friend every year on how to do this. Told them to write it down...lol. I love your style
Damn!!! I’m going to make these for Thanksgiving along with your green beans! My family will be in Heaven!!! Thank you AB! I’ve made several of your recipes and shared them too!!! 🥰❤️😋🤤
I tried these last year and I absolutely love this way of cooking sweet potatoes. Had to come back to review again so I can do them again!!!! Awesomeness ❤
This your first demonstration I have seen. I love the way you make everything so clear. It surely looks easy the way you do it! I know there will be happy guests at your house this week and the entire Holiday Season!
I have three boys n when I say they loved my yams. This was the first time making them from scratch. Thank you much!! This is how I will forever make them and pass on to my babies✨

I’m definitely gonna do this because the oven takes forever. When you thickened the sauce at the end you didn’t add a thickener right? Just let it cook.

For real, and this is DELICIOUS! 😋 ♥️

Lemon is best to me.
I use crushed pineapple in mine.

Thanks for watching fam!
FINALLY!!! I got the candied yams right!!!! The key is reducing the sauce at the end...Thank you, thank you. 🙌🏾 Happy Thanksgiving!!!🍠
I'm going to try that every time I make them they never come out the way I want❤❤
By inviting us into your kitchen, you feel like family! Thank you, God bless!
That sauce is also delicious on vanilla ice cream and also poured on top of cheese cake. 😋😋😋😋😋 Thanks for sharing. Have a great evening 🤗🥰😘
Try making the sauce only with no white sugar and add maple syrup instead, then pour it on pancakes topped with bananas and pecans.
. Lord had mercy my mouth is watering right now I can't wait till thanksgiving

You da man AB I been looking for a candied yam recipe for years for Stove top😊what's that xtra cooking device called you used😊
Great video, AB, and thanks for showing us an alternative to baking. I would have never thought of making sweet potatoes on the stovetop.
Yw Fam :)
Fantastic!!!!!
You are a real natural at cooking and communicating
I made your recipe for the candy yams this Thanksgiving and it was a huge success. Every year during the holidays my husband tells me about his mothers candied yams. I tried to find recipes that sounded like his description but they didn’t make the cut. Omg your recipe is a keeper. I’ve been asked to make it for Christmas too. Thank you
I CAN'T with you, AB!! I'm watching this at work and when you said "I don't know whether to pat myself on the back, or run outside and testify", I literally busted out laughing!! I love your videos and your humor! Keep 'em coming. Oh, and by the way, I'm using this recipe for this Thanksgiving since I was asked to make the sweet potatoes! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!🦃
Lori Payne IKR! I was CRACKING UP TOO when he said "run out and testify"!!! 🤭🤭 (can you picture the neighbors?? 🤣🤣)
I made candied yams so good that I was asked was it peach cobbler because of the aroma from the orange and marshmallows. But that was when I used the oven. I now use the stove top the way you do. Much faster which I love and they’ll still fool you and make you think you’re about to eat peach cobbler. 😅
Just made your greens now I’m here for yams!! You sir are the best cook Eva!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks to you AB my Thanksgiving this year about to be bussin bussin! You’ve given me the confidence and techniques I need to show out for the family! ❤
Gotta get in that kitchen this Thanksgiving!
OmG I always boiled mine first but I’m gonna try it this way! Thanks Chef!
Yes! Try it this way 💯🤤
Mmmm.Yummy thank you for explaining the difference, between, yams ,akd sweet potato I enjoy ,them both Yours looks Soo ,Yum
I made these yams and the taste was awesome. These are the best yams I've every tasted.

I tried this for Thanksgiving and it was AMAZING!!! I was a little skeptical about the fresh orange juice but I'm a believer now!!! Thank you for sharing!😊

I don’t eat candied yams, but I made your recipe I got all kinds of compliments. Thank You AB
OK! I’ll be glad to eat yours!
I'm glad you enjoyed fam! 🔥
loving the holiday recipe that is sweet and savory . keep up these unbelievable recipes that can be put in our tables . 🔥🔥🔥
Yes 🤤🤤🤤
This is My third year using your recipe. Never found one better. Plus you are very entertaining. I love you sweetheart. God bless you. Happy blessed Thanksgiving to you and all your loved one!!!!
My mother used similar recipe but she would boil the yams first, then peel, then slice the yams length wise. We looked forward to her sweet potatoes especially during the holidays.
You can make them either way 🔥
That's the way my grandma use to make them. She said bcuz it was easier to peel that way! I not longer use that method. I peel mines first then bake instead of boil. I feel when you boil them that's boiling out the Nutrients that's needed! I d I everything else they same as she did other than boiling them first!
I made these Yams for Thanksgiving and they were such a big hit with my family - totally amazing! One thing I did do differently was to add pineapple juice because I didn't have any oranges and I also added pineapple tidbits and pecans. It truly was a hit! Thank you AB - will be makeing these again and again! Love your videos by the way.
Those look amazing, I'm making them right now with my Cornish hens, broccoli augratin rice and string beans
OH MY GOD that looks incredible 😋
I've been making the yams every year at Thanksgiving for at least 25 years. I can honestly say it's time to change up the recipe. Thanks AB!
You can make these 🔥
The quality of your videos have come a long way from a couple years ago. Nothing goes unnoticed. I’ve been following you for a couple years now. I am so happy when you come out with new videos and recipes. You always come thru for us! Thanks AB! Wishing you a great thanksgiving!
Great recipe, I always wanted my yams to not fall apart!! Today they came out delicious and did not fall apart!!!
Tried my hand at candied sweet potatoes a couple weeks ago for the first time. Time to level up with this one AB!!! Literally my favorite side at Thanksgiving
Let me know what you think afterwards.
This recipe is fire 🔥🔥🔥 best candied yams i've had! Perfect balance of flavors and not too sweet which I love ... This recipe is a must try!!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Making this for T-Day, with my homegrown sweet potatoes . 😋
Sounds delicious!
I make this exact recipe only I add molasses. They are absolutely amazing! I’ve also done Miami’s Hasselbeck style with a little bit of Worcestershire sauce, molasses, and time. I still do them stove top, but covered, and they are quite amazing! I love your videos, and I love that you make everything so real and convenient! Keep cooking and doing what you do and thank you and have a blessed holiday!
Thanksgiving 2023…you go out and testify. WHOOOOOWEEEE. BEST Sweet Potatoes I’ve ever made. Thank you for sharing ❤
Yess, AB. I make mine just like this, the stove part is genius. I also add cut up apples and pears. I get a phone call from my friend every year on how to do this. Told them to write it down...lol. I love your style
One of my favorite holiday sides right there!!!
You gotta have these on your plate!
@@SmokinandGrillinwithAB Yessir!! The plate would look empty without them. Lol.
This is what I’ll be doing Thursday morning ❤❤Thank you
Damn!!! I’m going to make these for Thanksgiving along with your green beans! My family will be in Heaven!!! Thank you AB! I’ve made several of your recipes and shared them too!!! 🥰❤️😋🤤
