Loved this recipe! They were a big hit at the dinner table. I have been trying every year to get this exact taste and every year I failed. This year I am so excited to have found this recipe. I used cinnamon instead of nutmeg and canned yams. Thank you so much for sharing. They brought back memories from my childhood. Everyone raved.

I have been making this recipe for years. I am going to try to make them in a crockpot for Thanksgiving tomorrow. I will let you know how I did.

I hit the jackpot when I found this recipe. My friend served a commercial version of this recipe which I loved but is much more expensive. This fab recipe is economical and a tastier version of the former. Kudos to you, Barbara!

Thank god I was able to find this recipe again. I need to keep it in a safe place. These are so good, I won't make any other type of yams again! Thanks!

I have always used canned yams. This year I wanted to try the real thing. I decided to try this recipe since it was so simple. OH MY OH MY OH MY!!!! I can not say enough about this recipe. Everyone thought they were the best yams ever! It was the highlight of the entire Thanksgiving dinner! Highly recommend for everyone to try this!

These were great! I am making my first thanksgiving dinner and I needed something traditional. I decided to try this yesterday just to make sure they were good enough to make on the big day. I did changed a few things though. Instead of real yams, I used the canned. Reason being is that I need something quick that I will be able to whip up, stick in the oven and forget about it until serving time. I am cooking for 20 people and dont have time to deal with 18 boiling sweet potatoes. I also used Cinnamon instead of nutmeg. overall they turned out delicious and i willl definitley be making it for this thanksgiving!! Thanks Barb!!

I was asked to make candied yams this year for Thanksgiving...THANK GOODNESS I CAME ACROSS THIS RECIPE!!! Everyone at dinner had nothing but good things to say about them. I doubled the recipe and the entire pan disappeared!!
Guest: CollectorGirl
I searched many recipe's and picked this one because it matched what I wanted to see! And it was delicious! The only thing I changed was that I happen to have 6 yams and I used all of them (since I already had them!) and I happened to only use 1 Tbsp of flour. And my sugar/butter mixture did not 'pour' either, but I knew it would all melt together. I LOVED this recipe and will use it again next year! No need to look for another one! And one of my guests asked for the recipe too - and she's a great cook! Thanks so much!!

I used this with canned sweet potatoes instead of fresh and used cinnamon instead of nutmeg. The delicious! The sauce was thick and sweet just like we like it!
