What's in the fridge?

I wait all year for this one. And this year I couldn’t celebrate with my family so I had to learn how to make it myself. (thanks Covid)

And, I had to learn how to make a smaller batch too!

Here’s the rough guide on how to make it. It still serves 6-8 people. I made it in an 8″x 8″ square dish instead of my mom’s usual 13″X9″ dish

Candied Yams

(serves 6-8)

• 3 large red skinned sweet potatoes
• Couple drizzles of honey
• Couple tablespoons brown sugar
• Sprinkling of cinnamon
• Light sprinkle of ground clove
• Light sprinkle of ground nutmeg
• About 2 cups mini marshmallows

Directions:

1. (Can fully assemble the day before) Place yams in a large pot of boiling water. bring to the boil and boil for 30-40 minutes or until very fork tender. Then, drain water and peel yams when cool enough to touch.

2. Butter a 8×8 square dish. Slice yams into ½” rounds and layer one layer in the baking dish. Then drizzle with honey, sprinkle with a tablespoon of brown sugar and sprinkle with generous cinnamon and just a little cloves and nutmeg.

3. Repeat with 2-3 more layers in the same way. Then cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge if serving the next day.

4. When ready to serve place in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 350 F. Then turn oven up to high broil. Place marshmallows scattered on top. Broil for 5 minutes or so or until marshmallow turn golden brown (don’t walk away- they burn easily!) Now it’s ready to serve.
