Method
Candied Yams Directions

Prepare the Yams
Peel and slice the yams into 1-inch thick rounds. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, or until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Make the Candied Sauce
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is melted and bubbly.

Combine Yams and Sauce
Add the cooked yams to the saucepan with the candied sauce. Gently stir to coat the yams evenly. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the yams to absorb the flavors.
