How to Make Candied Yams in the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
Follow the recipe making the sauce on the stovetop in a small heavy bottomed saucepan. Simmer over medium low for 5-7 minutes.
Arrange the sliced sweet potatoes in the buttered dish and pour the sauce on top. Cover with heavy duty aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Uncover and gently stir. Continue to bake uncovered for another 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened and the sweet potatoes are fork tender and caramelized.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes on the counter then serve drizzled with sauce.
