Instructions
- In a large high-sided skillet, add butter and set over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted add the yams and toss to combine.
- Add the brown sugar and spices to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- When the sugar is melted, lower the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
- As the yams cook they will start to soften, so be careful when stirring that you don’t break up the yams.
- When the yams are fully cooked and the sauce is thick, add kosher salt to taste.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Keep leftover candied yams in the refrigerator for 5 days. They will also freeze for up to a year.
