My grandma's candied yams are the best candied yams I have ever had! The pineapple is an awesome addition to this sweet dish.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cups pineapple juice
  • 0.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 cups brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 2 cans cut yams , 29 ounce
  • 1 can pineapple chunks , 8 ounce
  • 1.5 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add pineapple juice, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir to combine and cook until sugars have dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, place drained yams in a casserole dish. Add pineapple chunks. Pour sauce over top.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Add marshmallows to the top and continue to bake until golden and melted, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving so sauce can thicken.
