Incredible Southern Candied Yams

!±8± Incredible Southern Candied Yams

We love our yams and sweet potatoes so much that not only do we always make the Scrumptious Sweet Potato Spoonbread on each Holiday occasion, my Southern husband needs his Candied Yams as well! Yes...we make both! ~ Kimberly Edwards :D

Type: Side

Serve With: Holiday Feast

Prep Time: ~ 10 min

Cook Time: ~ 1 hr, 10 min

Yield: Feeds ~ 8 people with 1/2 yam each

Ingredients:

4 large Yams

1/4 cup Butter

~ 2 tbsp Vegetable oil - You may use canola oil.

1/3 cup Brown sugar

1/2 cup Maple syrup - Do not use table syrup!

~ 3/4 bag Marshmallows - You may use large or small marshmallows.

Sea salt - Light sprinkling to taste

Ground black pepper - Light sprinkling to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F (same temperature to cook your turkey: http://CookingWithKimberly.com/?p=106 )
2. Peel yams and cut in 1/2 lengthwise.

3. Grease with ~ 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil a large baking pan (~ 12" x 17"), and coat yams with remaining vegetable oil, and sprinkle lightly with sea salt and pepper.

* Tip: If using 1 large can of yams, skip to step #5, as the yams being used are already fork tender.

4. Arrange yams in baking pan, with flat side up and place in oven ~ 1 hr before turkey is going to be done, and roast uncovered for about 40-45 min, or until fork tender.

5. Take out baking dish and dot with butter, pour maple syrup, and sprinkle with brown sugar evenly over top of yams and return to oven for ~ 10 min.

6. Take back out, baste with liquid in pan, and evenly sprinkle marshmallows on top and return to oven to melt and brown marshmallows, ~ 8 min.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

These Candied Yams are a family favorite, that's for sure! This is a recipe passed down from my hubby's Southern grandmother and mother! I don't know how far back this recipe goes, but it certainly is a real winner!

I hope you truly enjoy this recipe...

Eat Deliciously!

Christmas Menu Ideas

!±8± Christmas Menu Ideas

Do you need Christmas menu ideas? The festive season can be a lot of fun, especially with all the delicious Christmas chocolates and gourmet foods that are available at this time of year but sometimes it can be hard coming up with an inviting menu that's not going to make you a slave to the kitchen on the big day.

First of all, you need to decide if you want a traditional feast or a modern one. Of course, you can do a mixture of both, if you know your family and guests will enjoy it. That way, there's something for everyone to enjoy, whether it's roast turkey straight from the oven or barbequed prawns and a festive salad.

Cold ham is a delicious yet useful menu item. It's easy to prepare it the day before with a special glaze, such as ginger, maple syrup or cranberry sauce. A glazed ham will definitely have the wow factor and best of all, you won't have to do anything with it except serve it on Christmas Day.

A traditional menu might look like this:

• Roast turkey with stuffing and gravy
• Glazed ham
• Goose fat or duck fat roast potatoes
• Roast pumpkin or parsnip
• Honey roast carrots
• Cranberry sauce
• Christmas pudding with ice-cream

A modern menu might look like this:

• Barbecued prawns
• Festive salad
• Glazed ham
• Gourmet cheese
• Pavlova or tiramisu

Even if you're having a traditional dinner, you may like to swap the pudding for something lighter, such as chocolate mousse, pavlova, or tiramisu. All these desserts are special enough to enjoy on the big day.

Don't forget the nibblies! Think mince pies, spiced nuts, ginger cookies, Christmas cake and home-made truffles.

If you want to give your guests a healthy option, then why not consider making a fresh fruit platter?

The only problem with supplying your guests with delicious gourmet food before the festive lunch or dinner is that they might inadvertently fill up beforehand and then won't be able to do justice to your beautiful meal.

One way to stop this happening is to limit the amount of appetisers available until afterwards. Then you won't feel that your guests were too full to appreciate all your hard work in the kitchen!

If you're lucky, your guests may give you a wine gift. This can come in handy in case you run out of wine while you're entertaining them! Sometimes it can be difficult to work out how much alcohol you'll need: some people may drink more than others, while some guests will limit themselves to one glass of wine.

It's a good idea to cater for people who don't drink alcohol - a non-alcoholic fruit punch may even tempt the drinkers!

If you give yourself plenty of time to plan the menu for your festive lunch or dinner, then you'll find that it won't be so stressful to cater for your friends and family on the big day.
