Our family loves candied yams and this year I decided to try purple yams, also known as "ube." The bright purple colored yams added festiveness and a pop to our dining table.

Steps:
- Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Place one layer of yam slices in the prepared slow cooker and sprinkle with brown sugar until covered. Repeat layers until all yams are placed in slow cooker.
- Mix melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a small bowl; pour over yams in the slow cooker.
- Cook until yams are soft when pricked with a fork, 4 hours on Low or 2 hours on High. Transfer yams to a serving dish.
- Pour juices from the slow cooker into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low until juices reach a soft boil.
- Stir together cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth; add to the juices in the saucepan and continue to boil, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Pour sauce over yams and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
