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.

    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.

    This recipe looks so easy and so, so good. I have seen many that serves up a watery sugared syrup. This is rich, thick and beautifully candied. I will definitely be making this recipe for Christmas.

    I had the pleasure to eat a white sweet potato (yam) and didn’t realized what it was! My family and I went to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands and found a wonderful restaurant called Glady’s Cafe. It was so good I asked the waitress what it was and she said it was a white sweet potato!!! Mind blowing 🤯 We are so deprived from our original culture it’s a shame. If you ever explore the island check them out❤

      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've been making my yams this way from watching my two grannies doing it this way. Half of my family is of the Hawaiian descent and my granny showed my granny from Mississippi this way and they tweaked a tad and it's been in the family for years....love how you showed that last part of the caramelized ingredients coming together ❤️

    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 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!
