An easy and straightforward recipe for candied sweet potatoes in the crockpot. Cooking in the slow cooker frees up your oven, especially during the holidays when you can’t decide what to put in the oven first. Can be made 2 to 3 days in advance and reheated in the microwave.
Ingredients
- 5 cups yams, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup salted butter, cubed
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Line a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place yams in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with water, brown sugar, pineapple juice, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to evenly distribute sauce.
Step 3
Cook on Low for 2 hours. Stir.
Step 4
Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to make a slurry. Add to slow cooker and stir to incorporate.
Step 5
Cook until yams are fork-tender and sauce has thickened, about 1 hour more.
