SWEET POTATO PIE

Quick-simple: Sweet Potato Pie
This Sweet Potato or (Yam) Pie is simple yet very delicious. I usually make the yam for the pie for the color etc. It has more beta-carotene in it than broccoli or carrots! I actually prefer this recipe for the holidays because it more healthier, fresh, cheaper and easier. If you need two pie just pick a larger potato with a bit more cream and sugar to taste. (Taste the mix before you bake.) I don’t like “canned” anything, fresher is always better. Every one I serve this novelty to loved it.
1. 1 large Yam or Sweet Organic Potato (lg. for 2 pies, 1 med for one pie, the ratio of ingredients is the same.)
2. 1/2 cup Organic cream (about) Remember chemicals-hormones are stores in fat SO BUY ORGANIC...if possible
3. 1/2 cup brown raw sugar (can be less) TASTE THE BATTER
4. 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spices or just cinnamon i.e.
5. 2 organic eggs
You can sprinkle on top a few crushed pecans or a few walnuts for presentation but an optional topping (Use tin foil so the nuts don't get too brown.)
Mash steamed, boiled, or baked the yam that’s been cooled down then an with electric mixer or food chopper and add in the other ingredients. If it look to thick just add more heavy cream to thin it out. This will make it lighter.
*Then sprinkle and push them down a bit at the top the pie before baking with some nutmeats.
Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes (Check-insert the knife-or spaghetti in center of pie, and when it comes out clean it's done.) Cool and top with whipping cream.
...............
Crust 1 cube butter, margarine, or another fat to 2-cup flour. Blend in food chopper and add tablespoons cold water till it forms a ball that can be rolled out into a pie crust. Don't add more flour. Roll it out flat to the size of you pie plate. Then fill with yam pie mixture and cut edges off.
Or just buy 2 crust from the grocery. It's what I do most of the time. Quicker! Makes two pies

*This is pie is very light, if yours is too heavy it may have cracks; just add more cream or less yam. How much cream really depends on the size and texture of the sweet potato or yam. This mixture should be like a cake mixture. I only add enough cream to make a creamy color and back off. *Note: Whenever I see any type of winter squashes on sale, instead of yam or sweet potato's I use this same recipe and make them into a delightful, delicious, nutritional light pie! Have you noticed the pies sold at the groceries are too sweet, no cream and just taste awful. This is quick, easy, more nutrition than pumpkin...and tastes better. All pumpkin pies in the stores or, in cans are "squash"' not pumpkins'
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
