My Mama Sweet Potato Pie

On Thanksgiving Day my mom always made her sweet potato pie for the family. When I was little I always watch my mom during the big holidays cooking and baking in the kitchen whether it was from her chicken and dressing, to her macaroni and cheese, to her carrot cake, and sweet potato pie. So this Thanksgiving I will be sharing you my mom recipe for Sweet Potato Pie.

3 eggs

1 ½ cups of sugar

1 ½ tablespoons of allspice

1 stick of unsalted butter (melted)

2 Pie crust

Directions

1. Put the sweet potato in a big pot and cook for 2 ½ to 3 hours until very tender and the skin is easy to come off.

2. Next drain the sweet potato and let it sit until it is cool to touch.

3. After the sweet potato has enough to handle peel the skin off them and it to your mixing bowl. When you are finish peeling all of your sweet potatoes get a smasher or whisk to smash the sweet potato.
