Time 50m

Yield 4 quarts, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 (40 ounce) cans cut yams in syrup, syrup reserved
1/2 cup rice flour (or 1/4 c cornstarch as a GF alternative, or 1/2 c all-purpose flour if gluten-free doesn't matter)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter (half a stick)
10 ounces marshmallows (less if desired)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13x2 baking pan (or 4 quart casserole) with cooking spray.
  • Mix flour, brown sugar and salt in a microwavable 4 cup measuring cup.
  • Add syrup from yam cans so that the measuring cup contains about 2 1/2 cups. (You'll add about 2 cups of syrup, but some of the sugar and flour dissolves.) Stir.
  • Add butter, sliced.
  • Microwave, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick, but still pourable. This step took me about 10 minutes. I start with 90 seconds, then stir every 30 or 20 seconds. If it gets too thick, add water and stir.
  • Place yams in sprayed casserole. Pour sauce over yams. Bake until the sauce starts to bubble, about 25 minutes.
  • Top with marshmallows and return to the oven to brown, about 10 minutes.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES (CANNED YAMS)- COUPON CLIPPING COOK®



Candied Sweet Potatoes (Canned Yams)- Coupon Clipping Cook® image

These candied sweet potatoes (yams) made from a can with walnuts and marshmallows are a delicious Holiday side dish.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons butter, softened ((for greasing the baking dish))
2 cans (40 ounces each) cut sweet potatoes (yams), no sugar added preferred, or in light syrup is okay (drained in colander)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons chilled butter (cut into small cubes (for the sweet potatoes))
1/3 cup (packed) brown sugar (light colored)
1/2 cup halves and pieces-walnuts (for the sweet potatoes)
3-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
2 tablespoons (heaping) halves and pieces-walnuts (for garnish when serving from a separate dish or bowl)

Steps:

  • Please note that the terms "sweet potatoes" and "yams" are used interchangeably to refer to the same thing.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Preparing the Baking Dish - Using a baking or cooking brush, generously grease the inside (bottom and sides) of the baking dish with softened butter. Set aside for a moment.
  • For the Canned Yams - Strain the canned sweet potatoes in a colander. Some of the cut yams in the can will likely be soft so don't stir the potatoes around. Drain and discard all of the liquid in the canned yams.
  • For the First Layer of Sweet Potatoes - To the greased baking dish, using a spoon or tongs, start adding the sweet potatoes to the baking dish. If there are any particularly large pieces, cut them in half with a knife.
  • Add enough of the yams to form a single layer in the bottom of the baking dish. Then, sprinkle half (1/8 teaspoon) of the salt evenly on the yams, drizzle half (1-1/2 tablespoons) of the honey evenly on the yams, and sprinkle half (1/2 teaspoon) of the cinnamon evenly on top of the yams.
  • Cut the butter into small cubes and add half (2 tablespoons) of them evenly on top of the yams.
  • To a small bowl, add 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar (light colored), and cut it in half. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar evenly on top of the yams.
  • Last but not least, top the yams with half (1/4 cup) of the cut walnuts (halves and pieces).
  • For the Second (Top) Layer of Sweet Potatoes - starting with another layer of the sweet potatoes repeat the same process for the second (top) layer.
  • Baking Just the Sweet Potato Layers - Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven (350 degrees F.) until the sweet potatoes are heated through (about 20 minutes).
  • Baking the Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows - Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven (keep the oven on), set the baking dish onto a cookie sheet or large pizza pan (in case some of the marshmallows come off of the baking dish in the oven), and discard the foil.
  • Carefully (the baking dish will be hot) add miniature marshmallows on top of the sweet potatoes. Add as many marshmallows as possible to cover the sweet potatoes.
  • Bake in the oven (at 350 degrees F.) UNCOVERED until the marshmallows turn a light brown color (about 15 minutes).
  • Serve right away while warm either from the baking dish (with a warning to guests of course that the baking dish is hot) or transfer the candied sweet potatoes to a serving bowl.
  • If serving from a separate dish or bowl, garnish the candied sweet potatoes with additional walnuts (halves and pieces).
