Why Are My Candied Yams Watery?
There are a few reasons why candied yams may be watery. One reason could be that too much liquid was added to the recipe, such as water or orange juice. Another possibility is that the yams were not drained well enough after being boiled or the syrup used to candy them was too thin. It is also important to let the yams cool before adding them to the syrup. If none of these reasons seem to fit, it is possible that the yams being used are too watery and may not be the best choice for candying.
