Keyshawn's Mom's Candied Yams
"I was looking for a sweet potato dish that was quick and easy to do for Thanksgiving, as well as, a recipe that did not require oven space or time. Lucky for me, a colleague from work, gave me this recipe from www.foodtv.com. It was exactly what I was looking for."

I have used this recipe for years. Instead of dark brown sugar, I use regular brown sugar. I'm glad to see it listed on this website.
