#family #food #cooking #homemaker • FULL VIDEO ON CHANNEL • ❤️THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING ❤️ • RECIPE • 4 large sweet potatoes • 2 tbs water • 2 tbs vanilla • 1tbs cinnamon • 1tsp nutmeg • 2tsp salt • 1 cup brown sugar • 1 cup white sugar • 1/2 stick butter • There is a difference between candied yams and baked sweet potato’s. In order to get our yams “candied”, we have to create a syrup; by layering the ingredients in a deep pot. • What is the difference between yams and sweet potatoes? • Sweet Potatoes– there are 2 types: soft and firm. The Soft Sweet Potatoes have smooth red skin, orange flesh, become soft and tender when cooked, and taste sweet. They are often mislabeled as “yams”. Firm Sweet Potatoes have a tan skin with off-white flesh and remain firm and waxy after cooking. They are not as sweet as the soft variety. • Real Yams have a rough brown skin, white starchy dry flesh, mild flavor, and are grown in Africa. • Vanilla is an alcohol and evaporates when cooked. If added- at the beginning, the vanilla will start to evaporate and not be as strong. • Covering the pot but leaving it open a crack allows the potatoes retain some of the water in the pot at the beginning of cooking to prevent burning. It is removed halfway through cooking to allow the water to evaporate so the syrup will thicken • Only add about a tablespoon of water to the bottom of your pot at the beginning of the cooking process • There is enough water in the potatoes, that you don’t need much more. Adding more water will make the syrup take longer to thicken.
