Citrus & Spice Candied Yams with Sticky Plums

Gluten-Free Friendly, Soy-Free, Vegetarian

4 Servings, 340 Calories/Serving

Nothing says “autumn” more than candied yams, and though these taste complex — they couldn’t get any easier! Combine Garnet yams with rich, sticky plums, pumpkin spice, and a dash of orange juice for a caramelized side you won’t soon forget.

Ingredients: Organic yams, Cinnamon–brown sugar butter (butter - brown sugar - canola oil - cinnamon - sea salt - water), Pumpkin spice blend, Brown sugar, Orange juice concentrate, Prunes

Instructions

1

Prep the prunes

  • Cut the prunes into bite-size pieces.

2

Start cooking the yams

Arrange the Garnet yams and prunes in a single layer in a nonstick saute pan. Some overlap is ok. Add 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan, set the heat to medium, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 8 min, or until yams are almost fork-tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. 

3

Make the brown sugar mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, pumpkin spice blend, and orange juice concentrate with 1 cup of warm water. Add the brown sugar mixture to the saute pan, then stir in the cinnamon-brown sugar butter until melted.

4

Finish cooking the yams and serve

Cook uncovered for 8 min, or until the sauce has reduced to a syrupy consistency, spooning the brown sugar mixture over the yams as they cook. Turn off the heat. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
