Ingredients

4 - 5 Sweet potatoes

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup evaporated milk

2 eggs

1 Tbsp. vanilla

1 stick of butter (8 Tbsp.)

2 pie crusts

 

Instructions:

1. Rinse sweet potatoes and place them in a large pot.  Cover with water and boil on medium high heat until fork tender (about 30 - 40 minutes).

2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  

3. Allow potatoes to cool a bit (run cold water over them).  Once cool enough, peel the skin off.  Skin should practically fall off.

4. Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

5. Add in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, sugar, evaporated milk, 2 eggs, vanilla and butter. 

6. Mix until creamy and without lumps.

7. Prepare your pie crust.  (I use Pillsbury.)

8. Lay crust over pie pan and gentle press to mold into the pie pan.  (This recipe makes two pies.)

9. Cut off excess crust.

10. Place crusts in the oven for about 8 minutes.

11. Turn oven up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

12. Fill your pie crust with the filling and spread out with the back of a spoon or spatula.

13. Place in the oven for 1 hour or until lightly browned on top.

14. Enjoy....I know I will!
