How to Make Baked Sweet Yams In Pineapple Juice
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and cut 2 lbs of sweet yams into 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices.
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of pineapple juice and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency (about 8-10 minutes).
- Add the yam slices to the pineapple syrup and simmer for 10 minutes, gently stirring to coat.
- Remove yams from syrup and arrange them in a 13x9 inch baking pan, slightly overlapping the slices to create a galette-like design.
- In the same saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter into the remaining pineapple syrup. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated.
- Pour the butter-pineapple syrup evenly over the arranged yam slices in the baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the yams are tender and the glaze is thickened and slightly caramelized.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
