Ingredients
- 4 pounds yams (or sweet potatoes), peeled and cut to large bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups orange juice
- 3 cups light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Boil yams until slightly underdone, to avoid breaking. Strain, cool and set aside.
In a large container whisk together orange juice, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and zest. In another bowl, whisk flour and both sugars together.
Put cooled yams in a deep baking dish, add dry ingredients and stir to coat. Pour liquid over yams and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

yum! will make this again! yes, too much liquid, but i didn't use it all...i saved some and added it to sauteed onions and julienned carrots and sauteed together till carrots were still firm but can pierce with a fork! that was great too! i too topped off my candied yams with mini marshmallows. i like the idea of the pecans or even walnuts, will try next time, tho i'll probably chop them somewhat.

I made this last year and it was a huge hit, even with members if my family who do not usually like candied yams. I add halved pecans for a little added crunch and because it is how I had them growing up. I also add mini marshmallows 5 minutes before it is done so that they are nicely toasted. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
