Whisky (Or Bourbon) Baked Sweet Potatoes (Or Yams)
SERVES 8
Ingredients
- 3 lbs yams or sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup or regular maple syrup
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
- 1/3 cup Scotch whisky, to taste
Directions
1
Grease a shallow 3qt baking dish; set aside.2
Steam or boil the peeled yams until almost tender; cool and slice into approximately 1 1/2 inch slices (you want them to fit in a the 3qt baking dish in one layer).3
Preheat oven to 375°F.4
In a small saucepan, simmer brown sugar, syrup, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and syrup thickens, about 5 minutes; Remove from heat and stir in whisky (or other liquor of choice).5
Drizzle syrup over yams. Cover with aluminum foil (at this point, they may be refrigerated until you're ready to bake them). Bake the yams, basting every 15-20 minutes, until syrup has thickened and absorbed (note: not all the syrup will absorb), about 1 1/4 hours. May be served hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Made this for tomorrow's Easter dinner... but also made it for Turkey Day 2008. It is FABULOUS!! It does well prepping up until the baking step, and then put in with the other oven items. YUMMY!

This recipe changed my mind regarding candied yams. I've always poo poo'd them. My husband insisted that we have them for thanksgiving in keeping with tradition, so I grudgingly made sweetened yams. Boy, I am glad I did because this is GOOD. I followed the recipe to a T and it turned out great. Our 10 year old liked it as well. Everybody did. THANK YOU TigerJo.

I did not have the time or the patience to wait for the yams to absorbe all of the syrup. The flavor was amazing and the syrup that remained in the dish was poured over steak and broccoli as well. A must try recipe! Don't worry about a strong alcohol taste, the whisky just adds a wonderful depth of flavor that compliments the rest of the ingredients.
