Candied Yams

Believe it or not folks, this is  my first time ever making candied yams, and no, they are not just for Thanksgiving☺

Seeing that they are just for my husband and me, I prepared a small pan. You could adjust the quantities if you so desire. This dish is super easy, yet scrumptious!!

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato, cubed (2 – 3 cups)
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp white sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Directions:

1. Place potatoes in a pot of water and partially cook (about 5 minutes) 
2. Drain potatoes and assemble in a greased baking pan
3. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on medium heat until it begins to thicken. 
4. Cover potatoes with mixture and bake for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are done.
