I put my yams in a 390 oven for 3 hours -- they really candy-up that
way. I keep them in the fridge (what little is left after I've had my
first "taste") and eat them as a treat.
If you need sweet things, bananas are also very high in sugar. Slice
a half a banana lengthwise and stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds
or so to make it taste even sweeter than it does at room temp (it also
gets liquidy). For a real treat, add some cocoa powder and stir it
together. Also, frozen bananas taste just like ice cream to me.
There are lots of very naturally very sweet things -- you can easily
overdose on "sugar" without adding any pure sweeteners!
