MAMA'S SWEET POTATO PIE

3 cups canned sweet potatoes (I use Bruce's yams with orange and pineapple sauce)(drained)
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup melted butter
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 unbaked 9-inch pie shells (I use deep dish pie crusts)

Combine sweet potatoes, eggs, melted butter, sugar, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl and mix well. Stir in vanilla. Pour into pie shells.

Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for 1 hour or until set. Yield: 16 servings.

You can eat one now and freeze one. That's what we do!

I hope that you enjoy this recipe. My mama made it for years. It's from one of her favorite cookbooks. I have most of my mama's cookbooks since she died. I consider them all to be treasures!

Enjoy!
