About
It's just not Thanksgiving without a side of candied yams, especially in the South. Southern Candied Yams are a one-pot, stovetop dish that just needs a little time and patience to come together perfectly. The glaze is full of lovely fall flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, which make the yams taste out of this world. Scoop up some comfort this holiday season with Southern Candied Yams.
