Country Glazed Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
• Cut each of the yams into 8 evenly shaped wedges. Lay them out in the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and allow to dissolve. Mix in syrup and cook until smooth. Pour the glaze over the yams and sprinkle with nutmeg.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 45 minutes or until the yams are tender when pierced with a fork but they still hold their shape.

Steps:

• If using fresh sweet potatoes, place in a large saucepan or Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook 25-40 minutes or until tender. Drain; cool slightly and peel. Cut into chunks., Preheat oven to 350°. Place sweet potatoes in a 2-qt. baking dish. In a small saucepan, combine butter, syrup, brown sugar and cinnamon; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour over potatoes. , Bake, uncovered, 30-40 minutes or until heated through.

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into slices.
• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet and add the sliced sweet potatoes.
• Mix the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Cover the sweet potatoes with sugar mixture and stir. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low and cook for about 1 hour or until potatoes are "candied". They should be tender but a little hard around the edges. Also the sauce will turn dark. You will need to stir occasionally during the cooking. Stir in the vanilla just before serving. Serve hot.

Steps:

• 1. Peel and chunk potatoes into large chunk pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with water and cook for 10 minutes only. Potatoes should be still firm to touch and not completely cooked through.
• 2. I used my electric skillet for the recipe this time, but I also love using a cast Iron skillet for it's even temperature cooking. Add in the corn syrup, vanilla Bean Paste, Brown Sugar, VIETNAMESE CINNAMON & soften butter, heat just until butter melts, then stir to blend mixture together.
• 3. Once butter is melted and mixture begins to slowly simmer, add in the orange juice, apple juice or water, and stir.
• 4. Now add in the partially cooked potatoes, lower the heat setting to low, and continue to cook slowly.
• 5. Continue cooking and stir to prevent potatoes from sticking to bottom of skillet, REMEMBER YOU MUST COOK SLOWLY, SO BE PATIENT. Glaze will gradually begin to caramelize and thicken, continue glazing and coating the potatoes, moving in skillet to prevent sticking to the bottom. Should take between 45 minutes to an hour, to peak at the optimum point.
• 6. Serve while still hot. You will not believe how much flavor these potatoes have.
• 7. NOTE: Vietnamese Cinnamon is also called Saigon Cinnamon, it has a higher oil content , is sweeter, and much more aromatic, & has a stronger flavor, you will notice the difference in how aromatic it is right away. My next project is Cinnamon Rolls.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees (see Tip). Use a vegetable peeler to peel strips of zest off 2 oranges. Cut the strips into thin matchsticks using a sharp knife and transfer to a large bowl. Juice all the oranges, the lemon and limes into the bowl for 1 1/4 cups juice. Whisk in the brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
• Generously peel the sweet potatoes, removing the skin and the tougher layer of flesh just beneath. If your sweet potatoes are larger than 2 inches in diameter, halve or quarter lengthwise. Cut into 1-inch-thick rounds or pieces, add to the citrus mixture and toss to coat.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes and juice mixture to a 9-by-13-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish. Dot the top with the butter. Bake, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes to cook and coat evenly, until the sweet potatoes are tender and glazed, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. A paring knife should slide through the potatoes easily and the glaze should be the consistency of syrup.
• Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The dish can be made ahead and cooled, then wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350-degree oven, covered with foil, or in a microwave, covered with a microwave-safe cover or plastic wrap.
