Mom's Candied Yams with Caramel

Mom's Candied Yams with Caramel

I took my mom’s childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won’t be leftovers. If you’re going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9×13-inch pan.
