This was my first time doing oven canied yams, and may I say you had just what I was looking for. They turned out to be quick and very easy. I'm very thankful for it, may you have a merry christmas and happy new year.

This is the first time that I get to have xmas dinner at my house and i've never really cooked xmas dinner except for green beans and pudding pies. So this is a quick and easy recipe for candied yams. And I to prefer canned yams than the fresh ones.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE!!! I have never cared for sweet potatoes and this recipe has made me love them! I made them for Thanksgiving last year and everyone loved them despite their hesitation with the red hots. I use this recipe frequently for parties and other get together's. Thanks again! :)

I omit the red hots & add pecans...

I do cheat once in a while by using canned, however there is an easy way of peeling and slicing sweet pototes. You have to boil the potatoes for 30 minutes, let cool and the skin peels right off and the potatoes are somewhat soft so you can chop.

This is the first time ever I have seen a recipe similar to how my mom and grandmother made candied yams! We used canned yams drained, maple syrup, cinnamon bits, bake. Add as many marshmallow as container will hold, put back in oven to melt and brown marshmallows. The sauce makes yummy gravy for the turkey too!

This recipe sounds good but like others I am curious about the red hots, I am thinking this is just like cinnamon flavor? Do the red hots melt and are unnoticeable because I am sure if my husband saw a red hot he probably wouldn't try it.. Anyway I love pecans and wanted to include them so anyone who has added those as well as red hots how did it taste... Yummy?

If you want an easy way to make these try wrapping the unpeeled potatoes in foil and bake in oven until they are tender. This I do the day before Thanksgiving. Peel and slice. I make the sauce in a separate pan by draining juice from can of crushed pineapple, add brown sugar, cinnamon, other things you like the taste of. I like maple syrup in it or you could use corn syrup. This makes the syrup stick to the sweet potatoes. Add marshmellows and let them melt, pour over sliced sweet potatoes and heat through, there aren't any left after dinner.

Excellent! My 12 year old is helping with the cooking this year! This recipe was just what I was looking for. Thank you!

Add cut up apples as well. You won't be sorry. Been using the canned yams for quite few years now, they're awesome. All other recipes call for much more butter, I'm with you, it's not necessary. The easier, the better.... Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the help, Angie! I only make these once or twice a year and couldn't remember exactly what made them so good. Getting old, I guess! I totally forgot about the butter. I just love the internet where all of our "E" buddies can share. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Carol

Thank you! This is the recipe that used to be on the back of the can and they changed it. You are the only person who has it. I would have died if I couldn't make this for the kids. It's been a tradition since I was a kid.

I was looking for a easy candied yams recipe and this was very easy and excellent. The red hots really made it. The only thing I changed was I added pecans.

I just want to thank Angie for this receipe! I made a dish similar to this one last year and couldn't find it. I didn't use red hots, but used pecans instead and was so happy to find this on the internet. I'm having Dillon's "cater" the meal this year and thought this would be great for those of us that want delicious sweet potatoes with minimal effort! Thanks again, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Tried it it was great thank you much. HAPPY Thanksgiving
