Slow Cooker Candied Sweet Potatoes


Ingredients:
6-7 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into slices
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups mini marshmallows

Directions:
Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.  Spread chopped sweet potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine orange juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and brown sugar.  Pour over the top of the sweet potatoes and place lid on the slow cooker.

Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3.

Once cooked, pour all the contents from your slow cooker into a baking dish.  Top with marshmallows and broil in oven until marshmallows are golden brown.

We had this for Thanksgiving 2013.  I used two large cans of yams, not fresh, so cooking time was cut in half.   Will definitely make this again next year.
