Im orgionaly from Texas and this has been in the family for generations. Try adding 1tblspoon of Brown sugar for every 3 sweetpotatoes used.. it adds a nice warmness to the dish.

I tried this recipe for the first time this Thanksgiving and my family loved it. It's easy to prepare and it's is absolutely the best candied sweet potato dish I've had. Thanks for sharing the recipe - it's in it's way to becoming a holiday tradition!!

This dish was very delicious but extremely runny. I took this dish to a family gathering and everyone raved over the flavor, but like I said, it is extremely runny. I even tried broiling for a few minutes but it never carmalized like it was supposed to.

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and my in-laws raved about it! Both of their Grandmothers used to make this when they were kids. It does take a long time to cook but it makes your house smell wonderful!

I made this for Christmas and everyone commented on how it was the best candied yams they have ever tasted. I was very proud. I added one more stick of butter. Hey, it was Christmas!

I've made this a few times already...everyone loves it! These are not like those candied yam recipes where they are just topped with a lot of sweet stuff and marshmallows and baked. These are simmered so the flavor is tasted throughout the whole sweet potato. Wonderful!

This took a lot longer to cook on my stove but worth the effort. I cut the recipe in half and it was more than enough for the six of us. A classic, yummy recipe.

This one is a winner everytime. My 4 year old requests it on a regular basis. I normally end up serving this as a dessert. Everyone praises this dish and say they never knew sweet potatoes could taste so good. Definitely 5 stars all the way for this dish.
