In a Yam Jam!

Need help on finding a TRUE candied yam. Every single year I try a new recipe to no avail because it is not "Candied" if anyone can understand what "candied yam" is Please tell me how to prepare a Candied Yam. Not baked, not roasted but something that almost has a clear glazed outside, tender inside and very yummy. It is almost like crystalized on the outside but they are an old fashioned way to prepare yams (I think).Thank in advance, for your help and Happy Thanks Giving!

In a Yam Jam!

This is amazing! Thank you.
I did a little of everyone but followed mostly "the zen kitchen", added the pecans and zest from "jerzeetomatoe" and boiled them like the recipe on "Chew on That". So now I finally know the secret (not to me-anymore) So, the key is to not pack to tight or close as stated in "zen". I finally have my "candied yams".
Although, the sweet potatoe candy from "ren" sounds very interesting and perfect for "Christmas" and the link had another recipe called"Mexcian Whiskey Candy"- hmmm..... ;).
Happy Thanksgiving!
