My grandma’s candied yams are the best candied yams I have ever had! The pineapple is an awesome addition to this sweet dish.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 (29 ounce) cans cut yams, drained
- 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
- 1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pineapple juice, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir to combine and cook until sugars have dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, place drained yams in a casserole dish. Add pineapple chunks. Pour sauce over top.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Add marshmallows to the top and continue to bake until golden and melted, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving so sauce can thicken.
