- In the same pot, add the water, nutmeg, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Now that the seasonings have been mixed together, raise the heat of the burner to high heat to reach a boil.

- Reduce the heat of the boiling pot to a low temperature. Place the cover on the pot.
- Allow the yams to cook for about 20 minutes or until the yams are candied. The edges of the yams should be slightly hard but the yams should still be tender.
