Candied Sweet Potatoes are a holiday side dish that many people love including my family. Here is our favorite version of Candied Sweet Potatoes with Pecans. This side dish is great with roasted turkey, stuffing, and all the holiday trimmings!
My garden at our other house always had a long row of sweet potatoes. Since we are further north, I cannot grow nice large sweet potatoes. Our weather is just too cool. My favorite kinds to grow were Beauregard, Jewel, and Puerto Rico. There is even a white kind called O’Henry that is very tasty.

Brown Sugar Sweetener is a mix I make and use in all my baking. It taste just like regular Brown Sugar. Just be sure you don’t omit the Olive Nation Brown Sugar Extract. That just takes it up a notch! On bottle of extract lasts a long time. Doesn’t this look just like brown sugar!

This is the best extract to use when making brown sugar. The flavor is spot on for brown sugar.
Pecans are just a treat at our house. They are so tasty eaten just so, candied, or added to this sweet potatoes dish.
This Ninja Blender system is the one I am using right now. I use the processor bowl to chop the pecans finer.
