These Candied Yams glazed with white and brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice will be the talk of your Sunday Dinner table.
We had Sunday Dinner for the family this weekend and we enjoyed Turkey Ribs from Pop ‘n Smoked BBQ, a local restaurant. Now who has ever heard of turkey ribs???? It’s all a mystery to me as to how they cut the turkey breast to make these darlings but are they ever good to me!!!! We also grubbed on Southern Style Mac and Cheese, Auntee Gail’s Turnip Greens, Hot Water Cornbread and this Southern Candied Yams Recipe.
Do you know how t fix candied yams? It took me forever to learn how to fix candied yams because I wanted to perfect the recipe. See candied yams are best when you have the right ratio of butter to sugar and you allow them to cook for at least an hour to make sure they are nice, tender and caramelized!!! Now that I know how to fix candied yams, I make this very special comfort dish all the time. I hope you’ll try it soon!
Speaking of comfort…are you searching? Just want to let you know that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob wants to be your Comforter if you’ll allow Him. Won’t you let Him in? He sent His Son, Jesus just for you! Pray this simple prayer, “Dear Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. Forgive me for my sins Lord. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son and that He died for my sins and You raised Him from the dead. I want to invite Him into my heart to take control of my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” Say Grace and enjoy!
