To prepare, simply open the can and transfer the contents to a saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Alternatively, you can pour the contents into an oven-safe dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid boiling, as this can make the sweet potatoes mushy. Serve hot as a side dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh sweet potatoes that require peeling, chopping, and cooking from scratch, this product is pre-cooked and pre-sweetened. The candied preparation means it is already infused with a syrupy sweetness, distinguishing it from plain cooked sweet potatoes.
