Thanksgiving is coming and during this holiday season, I enjoy the music to feed
my soul and the good healthy food for my body. Gathering together to enjoy the music
as well as the smell and taste of traditional food on the Thanksgiving table
always brings happy memories to me. The first time I was invited by a friend to
join his family on Thanksgiving, I noticed the candied yams present on the
table. I have loved that dish ever since then. However, for many years now since
preparing the Thanksgiving dinner every year, I know how to prepare this easy
dish without having to buy canned candied yams from a grocery store. I think homemade
tastes better and is healthier. Here is an easy recipe for homemade candied
yams, which eliminates the need for candied yams in a can.
Ingredients:
3 medium sweet potatoes, washed
2 tbs coconut oil
2 tbs honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
Directions:
Boil the sweet potatoes with their skin in boiling water for 20 to 30
minutes or until tender when poked with a knife.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Use 1 tsp coconut oil to grease a baking dish. Peel the sweet potatoes skin
and slice them and place in the baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt coconut oil or butter and mix in honey, salt, and
cinnamon (stirring until well blended).
Brush the honey, cinnamon glaze over the yam.
Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
