Put all of the ingredients into your slow cooker.
Set the slow cooker on 'high' for 3-4 hours, and cover with its lid.
Stir all the ingredients after 2 hours and put the lid back on.
At 3 hours, check the candied yams for tenderness. If not soft, keep cooking for another hour.
Serve the candied yams hot.
