How can i make syrupy sweet potatos like you get from a can? page

[Jamie Madrox]

such as bruces yams?

they use corn syrup but i was wondering how i would cook regular sweet potatoes and get that syrupy look and taste.

Honestly, would you want them to be syrupy and sweet? They have a wonderful sweet taste and texture to start with.

I guess you could bake them, then mash they up with maple syrup or something...or you could just leave them be.

Make a simple syrup with an alternative sweetener and water? Or coconut nectar, but I think coconut nectar tastes funky (in a good way)

cook them longer than you think you'd need to

bake them in the oven til juice coming out caramelizes

microwave them a few minutes extra

slice and boil til the water cooks down. the canned stuff (or southern cooking) add some kind of sugar. if you want syrupy sweet, you can add a little brown sugar/cinnamon to the water

i've added crushed pineapple to mine, and instead of marshmallows on the top i've used banana slices. Yum

We roast them with butter and maple syrup. They are dandy candies!

As there already pretty sweet I tend to think less is more but any of the following work fine for adding that extra sweetness/syrupyness.
Maple syrup
Jaggery goor
Muscovado sugar

I wouldent add any water.. just drizzle maple syrup over the (baked)Sweet potato chunks along with any spices you want to add and cook for a bit more till the maple syrup starts to candy/carmelize

adding water would just make it watery.

Reduce some apple cider until it's syrupy and add butter and cinnamon to taste before pouring over well-baked sweet potatoes.
