I have been cooking yams for most of my life and yours are by far the best. Your recipe is perfect. I did the practice run today and will definitely be making these for Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe.

But like soul food, never so thank you ma’am. I just practiced it a few minutes ago. I got five min left before I take it off the stove and I didn’t touch it unless u told me too😂😂.

    She passed when I was younger and nobody made them like her.

      T E L ......Dear Friends of God......................Please research God's Time/Calendar in Genesis 1:14 before the False Sabbath law is enforced! Actions are in progress to honor a Sabbath day. Already today, there are Sunday laws written on government books.
      Saturday nor Sunday is NOT the true biblical Sabbath. Genesis 1:14 is a commandment from God. God commanded us to let the lights in heaven be for days, years, etc. We are to use the sun, moon and stars to calculate our days, years, signs, seasons, Sabbaths, etc.
      The Sabbath commandment is one of the Ten commandments listed in Exodus 20 and It is just as important as the other nine commandments. It is to be kept!
      The Sabbath is calculated by God's Time in the heavens not by the Gregorian Calendar or any other man-made time. The Sabbath is a sign between God and His people Israel and whosoever join themselves to them. One law is to Israel and to the stranger. Exodus 12:48,49
      Note: Sunday is the seventh day in the majority of countries.
      Also, research the "seven Noahide Laws" From my research online, these laws are Jewish laws taken from their writings, namely the Talmud. The first law in the "seven Noahide laws" forbids the worship of idols. According to Jewish writings, the worship of Jesus, Yahushua, etc........is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. There is a movement to enforce these laws on all nations. Research the connection between President Bush, President Trump, The United Nations, etc and the " seven Noahide laws"
      BEWARE OF THESE "SEVEN NOAHIDE LAWS". THESE LAWS ARE VERY DANGEROUS TO CHRISTIANS AND TO ALL MANKIND!!
      Lastly, there is much talk online that the Jewish people residing in the land of Israel today are not the true Israelites and that the true Israelites are today now scattered throughout the nations, is this true? The Bible says in Revelation 3:9, someone is saying they are Jews but are not but are the synagogue of Satan. Research, Who are true Israel?
      HAVE A GOOD DAY FRIENDS OF GOD..........GLORY TO THE FATHER AND SON!

Lady, it was the BEST thing we ever tasted, hands down! We're having Thanksgiving for our grown kids today, and I realized I had never saved this video. Took me forever to find it, but I wasn't ABOUT to make anybody's recipe but YOURS. To everyone else, trust the process. You are going to want stir it, but DO NOT DO IT. For your patience, you will be rewarded with the most old school delicious caramelized sweet potatoes you've ever had in your life, I promise. Can't wait to dig into these in a couple hours.

The only thing I forgot because I was so excited of how good They looked and how amazing they smelled that I completely forgot the butter. If the butter makes them better then I will definitely put it in next time. Without the butter they were Awesome. I quickly text my niece to thank her and I want to also thank you!!!

I followed this recipe, then when it was off the heat and cooling, I threw in a handful of marshmallows, let them melt on top, and when it was fully cool, I threw in another handful of marshmallows (which retained their shape) and sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. I think it came out very well! Again, thank you and happy new year!!
