Notes
How long can I keep these yams after they are doine cooking on the warm setting?These candied yams can keep on the warm setting for 2-3 hours on the warm setting after being cook.Stir the yams often and add water if they seem to thicken too much.How can I add a marshmallow topping like a sweet potato casserole?Once the recipe is cooked and the brown sugar has been incorporated, you can add regular or mini marshmallows on top, replace the lid and keep on warm until the marshmallows become melty.How do I store leftovers?Place any leftover crock pot candied yams in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
