I kept the ingredients as is but I didnt use any orange juice and reduced the amount of water to 3/4 cup. I baked uncovered at 400 degrees for 2 hrs basting every half hour. Big hit with the family.

It was my first time making yams from scratch and they were a hit!! I just added the marshmallows for old time sake.. Loved the pineapple in it..
ONCE THE YAMS SOFTENED AND I WAS LEFT WITH LOTS OF LIQUID I POURED THE LIQUID IN A SAUCE PAN AND REDUCED IT A BIT.. THEN I POURED IT BACK ON THE YAM.. CARAMELIZED VERY WELL AND HAD A TANGY SWEETNESS MY GUESTS ABSOLUTELY LOVED! TOTALLY MAKING THIS AGAIN!

these were the worst. i have to agree with the sentiment that this recipe deserves a negative star rating. there is WAY too much liquid, the flavor is..."off" im not sure what it is but its not quite right. i added some nutmeg and that made it a litte better. i ended up having to drain the liquid off and put it in a pan to reduce it with some butter, honey, and brown sugar. after it thickened up i put it back over the yams n baked another 30 mins or so. better but still not what it should have been. they never candied at all and werent nearly sweet enough. im a good cook and this was just a total failure. get another recipe, or seriously, make something up cause this one is just NOT worth the time or groceries.
