Question

My G.F. tryes to make me eat this dish.

Never had it, Doesen't even sound or look good.

I like Ham and I like Yamms.

Just not together, Should I try It?

Answer 1

Not in the same dish, if that is what you mean. I will bake a big bone in ham, and we fix candied yams as a side dish. I fix green beans with this. Yes, it is really good. I buy canned yams (Bruce's) and drain most of the liquid. (save some) I fix the yams in a casserole dish. I take about 3 TBLS of light brown sugar, 1/2 teas cinnamon, and mix it with the remaining liquid. Then I mix it into the yams, and add lots of mini marshmallows on top. Some people add fresh pecan halves, but I cannot have any nuts. I bake it at 350 for about 35 to 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Very good. So I guess it is a southern dish.

Answer 2

I am from the south and I have never heard of those two items mixed together. I usually make them seperate, but every one is differnt!!! I would not mix the two like that. when i make those two items, it depends on the season and wether its holidays and all will depend on how i fix them. usually i take pineapple slices, brown sugar and sprite when i bake the ham. I pour the sprite through out the ham, i strategically place the pinapple slices, and pat brown sugar on the outer parts. then bake it for about.....2 hrs at 350 degrees.

the yams - i get real ones not the canned kind and bake them . before i bake them, i peel the outter skin off and rub a little butter on them just enough to wear the brown sugar will stick to them . then i will wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them for about 1 hour at 350 degrees.  If I'm making a casserole , then i slice the yams up , in a dish add pecans, or almonds, drizzle a mixture of honey and carmal sauce, over them. then I add a touch of nutmeg/cinnamon/brown sugar mixed that up real good it is best if you can get fresh ground cinnamon/nutmeg. then I add the bake it at 350 degrees fro about 1 hour. just before it is ready i pull them out and add the marshmellos and stick it back in until there melted - so they dont burn just lightly melted!!!

when its done and cooled some I get bryers vanilla bean ice cream, and layer the ice cream at the bottom of the dish's and add the yams on top and there you go an instant casserole /dessert  agian depends on the time of year and weather its a holiday or if that is what my family wants!!!
