To prepare, simply open the can and heat the contents on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Alternatively, you can transfer the yams to an oven-safe dish and bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. Be sure to stir them gently during heating to ensure even temperature distribution and to prevent sticking. Avoid overheating, as this can affect the texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh sweet potatoes that require peeling, cutting, and cooking from scratch, these candied yams are already prepared. The added glaze provides a distinct sweetness and a slightly softer texture compared to simply baked or mashed sweet potatoes, offering a ready-made sweet flavor profile.

Home cooks looking for a convenient and sweet side dish for family dinners or special occasions.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion promptly after opening the can. Transfer the leftovers to an airtight container or cover the original can tightly with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Ensure the lid is sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
