I bought a can of Bruce's Yams and I have a question: when you cook
these and eat them, do you include the liquid or should that be
discarded before eating? On Thanksgiving, I had some that were in a
thick syrup and I loved those. Is the liquid in the can thick or how
does one make it like that. Also, someone told me to throw in some
marshmallows.

Your thoughts?

Depends on what you do with them, I guess. I have one recipe that calls
for draining and saving 1/4 cup of the liquid for adding back to a
baked
version, with additional ingredients that are liquidless.

As I understand it, there is a recipe on the can. Use some of the syrup
from the can, some butter and brown sugar, melt all that together and
pour over the yams in a casserole dish. Bake. I don't see any need for
marshmallows unless it's that family tradition thing kicking in. You just
serve it how it comes out, no pouring off after baking.

Only savages throw in marshmallows. You want candy? Go buy candy. Why rape
one of the healthiest vegetables in existence?

Oh, please! "Rape?" All the nutrients are still there, with the addition of
whatever
is in marshmallows. Marsh Mallow, perhaps? And lots of sugar?

I make candied sweets every year, and they are fantastic, hot or cold. I
don't
use marshmallows but RAPE the poor little orange darlings with half a stick
of real butter and dark brown sugar, and just a bit of liquid from the sweet
potato
can. All the liquid evaporates and we have nothing but candied sweet
perfection left.

I just polished off the last of them yesterday. With my fingers. Cold.
Mmmmm.

Are you serious in your use of the words "Marsh Mallow"?

With you, it could go either way. Were you serious?

Sounds great. How much brown sugar do you use? I take it you bake
them? At what temp and for how long?

Thanks.

It's a little known fact but most marshmallows are level 3 sex offenders and
are required to register when they move to a new community. Since I live 4
blocks from an elementary school I'm not allowed to have marshmallows in the
house. It's a crazy world we live in, I know.

I knew I could count on you to add some sanity and logic to this discussion.

It's all about perspective and I've got 2 buckets of it.

OK, but I *still* think it's disgusting to ruin perfectly good yams or sweet
potatoes. This past Thursday, I was assaulted with a dish of hideo-crap by
one of the so-called guests at the dinner I attended. 2 inch layer of sweet
potatoes. 1 inch layer of crumb-brown sugar spew, 1/2 inch layer of solid
marshmallows. WTF are these people thinking? The hostess later served a
sweet potato pie that tasted more natural than the slop that was
masquerading as a vegetable dish.

I actually dislike sweetened sweet potatoes. I despised those canned sweet
potatoes when I was a kid. I realized as an adult that what I don't like it
'sweet' sweet potatoes, I prefer them in spicier or more savory dishes. I skip
all the super sweet applications.

On the other hand, I adore marshmallows for all their kinky goodness.

I agree with the disgusting part. Yams and sweet potatoes have tons of
tasty natural flavor and sweetness.
