Here&#8217;s what They&#8217;re Sayin&#8217;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:24px\">\u201cThank you for sharing your candied sweet potato recipe. It was wonderful and tasted very similar to my mother\u2019s recipe. My mother and grandmother have passed away, and I never learned how to make most of their staple dishes, like this one. I tried on my own many times, even using other recipes, but it never came out the same. But not anymore thanks to your recipe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"letter-spacing:5px;text-transform:uppercase\">\u2014CHASE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are recipes in my family that are so perfect, we don&#8217;t alter them in anyway.  My mama&#8217;s candied sweet potatoes are one of those recipes.  What makes them special is they are quite different from ones you see online.  She makes them on the stove instead of in the oven allowing that syrup to reduce and thicken with more control.  She also uses very simple ingredients not adding too much to the mix and overcomplicating the natural flavors.  The end result is candy sweet potatoes like you have never had boos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background-3-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained

Bake in a preheated oven of 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) in a baking dish covered with foil for about 15 minutes or until heated through. You can also quickly zap them in the microwave at 30 second intervals until they are heated through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-will-this-southern-candied-sweet-potato-recipe-last-in-the-fridge\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_will_this_Southern_candied_sweet_potato_recipe_last_in_the_fridge\"><\/span><strong>How long will this Southern candied sweet potato recipe last in the fridge?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They should last in the fridge for 3-4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-freeze-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_freeze_it\"><\/span><strong>Can I freeze it?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely boos!
