SOUTHERN SWEET POTATO PIE

"A cousin to the pumpkin pie, but more savory, less sweet and more textured."

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes* OR yams
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Karo Dark Corn Syrup
2 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (9 to 9-1/2 inch) unbaked deep-dish pie crust

Mix together mashed sweet potatoes, cream, corn syrup and eggs using a wire whisk. Add remaining ingredients; blend well.

Pour filling into pie crust. Place pie on a baking sheet.

Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in the center of pie comes out clean.

Cool on wire rack for 2 hours before serving.

*Recipe Note: To make mashed sweet potatoes, peel and about 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Place in a saucepan; cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are soft. Drain off water and mash in a mixer or food processor to get a smooth consistency. Cool before using.
