• ½ teaspoon of nutmeg

• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

​

    Directions

• Peel the skin from the yams

• Then put in a medium pot over medium heat

• Let the water boil for about 6 min this will ensure the yams will get a great cooking start

• Atter 6 min put the yams into to the pot

• Then after 20 minutes (ensure yams are tender) pour some of the water out of the pot so that you are left with only 2 cups of water.

• Then add ½ stick if butter cut into ½ squares.

• Let this simmer on low for 2 min then add half of all the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 2 minutes more

• After 2 minutes add the rest of the ingredients around in the pot sprinkling them on top one at a time evenly.

• Stirring the liquid in the pot occasionally until the cooking liquid reduces this can take about 10 minute or so or until the syrup coats the yams.

• Then depending on your preference  you can remove candied yams from the pot and place them in a baking dish and place marshmallows and sprinkles of nutmeg on top.

• Serve & Enjoy
