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.

    @shi912one Год назад +23

    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'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.

    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.

    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!

      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 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.

  • @pateverson6090
    @pateverson6090 Год назад +11

    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.

    • @angelpatrick5559
      @angelpatrick5559 Год назад +1

      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 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!

    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.
