CLASSIC CANDIED YAMS RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING



Classic Candied Yams Recipe | Southern Living image

Candied yams are a classic Southern side dish, especially when it comes to Thanksgiving. Even though Mama makes the same sweet potato casserole every year, she won't be offended if you bring these candied yams once she tries them. Lightly spiced and oh-so-sweet, these candied yams will become a mainstay in your Thanksgiving recipe lineup. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla combine with sweet potatoes for the most comforting holiday dish you can serve. One of the best parts about this side dish is that it only has 20 minutes of hands-on time, and you can assemble the dish up to 3 days in advance. Make the recipe through step 3, store it covered in the refrigerator, then bake it Thanksgiving Day. With all the other dishes you have to worry about on Thanksgiving, these candied yams will be a breeze. We recommend serving them straight from the oven while the syrup is still hot.

Categories     Yams

Total Time 1 hours 25 minutes

Yield Serves 12 (serving size: about 1 cup)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1⁄2-inch-thick rounds
1/2 cup salted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Layer sweet potato slices in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium. Add sugars, stirring until well combined. Stir in cream; cook, stirring often, just until mixture comes to a simmer, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  • Pour sugar mixture evenly over sweet potatoes, and cover with lightly greased aluminum foil.
  • Bake, covered, in preheated oven, about 40 minutes. Uncover and gently stir potato mixture. Bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 25 to 30 more minutes. Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon; pour syrup over potatoes. Serve immediately.

CLASSIC PISTOU RECIPE - PAULA WOLFERT | FOOD & WINE



Classic Pistou Recipe - Paula Wolfert | Food & Wine image

Pistou is an olive oil—based basil sauce from the south of France that closely resembles Ligurian pesto. There's only one way to make true pistou—by hand. Tear the basil leaves into pieces first, then grind the leaves against the side of a mortar with a pestle to puree them into a silky, creamy sauce. Like its Italian twin, pistou can also be served as an accompaniment to grilled meats, poultry, fish and vegetables. More Recipes From Paula Wolfert
