This was missing something, maybe vanilla, nutmeg, or cinnamon. It was just too bland. -
Tried this recipe for Thanksgiving, and it was a hit! So delicious! I added cinnamon and cloves too. Also, for the sake of timing, I placed sliced yams in a baking dish and poured the yummy sauce over them, then warmed everything in the oven. Turned out perfect! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!! -
This was such an easy, no fuss recipe for candied yams. I had the yams already cooked and decided to make them sweet at the last minute. This came out perfect. Thanks for posting.
