Tastes really good, but a little watery. I would just put half of the orange juice it calls for!

Every year I usually make yams the same old way. this year I decided to try something different and boy am I glad I did. This recipe was a hit. Instead of using 2 cups of OJ I used one cup and used one cup of Bourbon. YUM!

Tried this recipe for Thanksgiving today and it did not turn out as I wanted. The recipe called for far too much liquid. I baked for more than an hour and let it sit, and still it was soupy. It never thickened up. And I have never heard of a recipe using that much vanilla extract. It took over the flavors of the dish.

Way too much liquid. Next time, I plan to cut the liquid in half. It came out too mushy. Even though it tastes great, it's not worth all the extra work. Regular yams with syrup does the trick just as well.

I would never use this many ingredients for such a simple side..
No offense, but it's just excessive.
Sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and a little butter. Sweet potatoes have their on water so if you toss them in a casserole dish, covered and leave them in the oven on 300 for and hour with the sugar and what not... PERFECTION! Dont mess with a good thing but add orange juice and lemons. But dont forget the Marshmallows and the end. Yum.

This my first Christmas as the house chef. Like some others after the reccommended 30 minutes I was confused. My yams were hard and my sauce was soupy. My father reccommended leaving the yams in the oven for another hour and a half or two. I would check on them every thrity minutes, but they never burned. By cooking them slowly the yams just became more tender and delecious and sauce was syrupy and thick just like I like it. It was excellent!

PS.: Also, cooking this dish longer will quiet the overpowering lemon zest flavor you might taste at first (but dont omit the lemon zest!. I hear the purpose of the lemon zest is to combat the sugariness of this dish so that it is perfect!.

I didn't even use all of the liquid - there was just way too much. It was OK flavor wise, but just too soupy and too much lemon - and I didn't even put in all it called for. Next year, I'll just go back to sprinkling a little brown sugar and marshmallows.

I don't think I cooked the yams throughly. They were too hard and not the consistancy that I wanted. So I improvised. I put them into my processor and made pureed potatoes out of them and they tasted GREAT that way! So when all else fails, IMPROVISE!
