For best results, use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent scorching. Do not stir the mixture while it simmers. This helps to develop the glossy, candied coating. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the sweet potato cubes and the heat of your stove. For a deeper flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A pinch of salt can help to balance the sweetness.

May 26, 2023I found that my syrup didn't thicken as much as I wanted, so I simmered it uncovered for the last 10 minutes, and that did the trick!
