Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shells
3 medium sweet potatoes (1-1/2 lbs. or can use one 17 oz. can sweet potatoes) or 3 medium yams (1-1/2 lbs. or can use one 17 oz. can sweet potatoes)
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup molasses
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup milk

  • In a medium saucepan, cook raw sweet potatoes or yams in enough boiling salted water to cover for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain. Cool slightly and peel. Mash cooked or canned sweet potatoes (you should have 1-1/2 cups.) Set aside.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was okay. It wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad either. I would probably make it again if I had to, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so.

This pie was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to the filling.

The crust was a bit dry. I would recommend adding more butter or shortening to the recipe.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less molasses next time.

I made this pie for Thanksgiving and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this pie again.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit! The molasses gives it a rich, deep flavor and the sweet potatoes make it moist and delicious. I usually serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
