Oven Baked Candied Yams
Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds yams, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Spread the yams out in a 9×13 baking dish. Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, juice, cinnamon, and vanilla and then pour over the yams. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven. Uncover, baste the yams, and bake for another 20 minutes, or until tender.
Makes about 10 servings.

Substitutions:
After baking the yams for 1 1/2 hours, they still weren’t tender, so I ended up microwaving them for 20 minutes. They probably need to bake at least 2 to 3 hours in the oven.
