    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 😅

      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.

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!
