Bourbon Candied Yams

Bourbon Candied Yams | I Heart RecipesEasy yams recipe made on the stovetop!

By now, you all know how much I love candied yams. So far I’ve shared a best ever yams recipe with marshmallows,  and a southern baked yams recipe. This year I’m sharing my recipe for Bourbon Candied yams. However, unlike like previous yam recipes, I will be making these completely on the stovetop.Bourbon Candied Yams | I Heart Recipes

This recipe is very similar to my previous candied yams recipe, however I use bourbon whiskey, and corn syrup. The bourbon adds flavor, however if you aren’t down with it- you can leave it out.

These yams only take about 45- 50 minutes to make. You can make them a day before your holiday gathering, and simply warm them up over medium heat. This recipe can easily be double , tripled, and etc. Just make sure that you have a big enough pot or pan for all your ingredients!Bourbon Candied Yams | I Heart Recipes

  1. These were SOOOOO delicious; my kids devoured them. Next time I will be sure to have the bourbon and corn syrup; I just didn’t have these ingredients and didn’t run out to get them – but they were absolutely amazing without. So much flavor – they didn’t last in the pot a whole half hour.

  6. This recipe looks sooooo yummy!! What do you suggest I sub for the corn syrup? I don’t use it often enough to buy a bottle for just this. Maybe maple syrup?

  11. I’ve been looking for a recipe like what my mom used to make and these sound similar to how she used to make them. Can I use the bourbon in the slow cooker recipe and cut down the water ? Thanks
