Sweet Potato Pie

*+*Le Jeune Cuisinier*+*'s Note:

One day I decided to make sweet potato pie & I didn't know what to put in it. I looked at a couple of recipes online to get the measurement ideas. I just started putting in a little bit of everything & it came out delicious! My family & friends wanted more so I even made a second batch!

This is an excellant tasting sweet potato pie! But, while I thought the pie was a tad bit sweet, my husband didn't think so. The next time I happen to make the pie, I'll probably cut back on the corn syrup at least by a tablespoon. I did however, add a bit more of the canned sweet potatoes, just an ounce more, and the brand of canned sweet potatoes I used was... Bruce's. I also used canned evaporated milk (not regular milk) plus I used a regular 9-inch pie plate, rather than a deep dish pie plate. I definitely 'am looking forward to making this pie again. Thank you Le Jeune Cuisinier for posting the recipe. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

This is great sweet potato pie. I make it for the major holidays like Easter,Thanksgiving and Christmas. I use fresh sweet potatoes instead of the canned stuff. And I accidently made it with graham cracker crust one day and haven't looked back.
