Sweet Potato Pie...

     

It took all day...

but I finally got my Sweet Potato Pie baked.

 

there was enough filling for two pies...

Mother you get a pie!

 

Wash the whole sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook until the potatoes are tender. When the potatoes are done, drain and cool them. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and place them in the large bowl of an electric mixer.

Mash.

Add the melted butter, corn syrup, and sugar.

  

Beat on medium speed.

 

Discard the long, stringy fibers that collect around the electric beaters as you beat the filling. In the end, you want a smooth, string free filling.

Add the eggs one at a time. Beat well after each addition.

 

Pour in the buttermilk.

Add the nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla, and salt. Beat until the filling is smooth.

 

Pour the filling into pie crust. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes @350.

Tina,
I don't think I've ever had sweet potato pie. This looks delicious though! How is the flavor in comparison to pumpkin pie? Just curious! Thanks for another mouth watering picture!

I think SP pie tastes a lot like pumpkin. I do have a story of my 31 year old son (when he was in 4th or 5th grade) sneaking and eating a WHOLE pie. My mother (SC born and bread) had baked several from home grown SP's, left them out to cool, was going to freeze some and when wrapping for the freezer noticed one missing. We found him later behind the pump house and YES he was throwing up. He since will not eat SP pie. So sad.

Tina, I am so glad you shared your recipe with us as all your recipes are the best. I dont expect to have much timeto try one though because I am going to be to busy working at Kroger from about 4 or 6pm to 11 at night and then up at 5am to work at the school. I just have to take what I can get to pay my bills now that Jimmy's no longer here and with this economy the way it is going. It is kind of scary now. Anyways also love your desk area and LOL to you,Rita

Have a great week,
