Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon clove
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 9 inch unbaked pie crust

Instructions

  • Wash the sweet potatoes, then add them to a pot and cover with water. Bring the sweet potatoes to a boil over medium high heat, reduce heat, and simmer 40-50 minutes, until tender when poked with a fork. Run cold water over the sweet potatoes, then remove the skins.
  • Preheat the oven to 350. Add the peeled sweet potatoes to a bowl and mash them with a potato masher. Add the butter, sugar, and brown sugar, and mix until combined.
  • Add the evaporated milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, ginger, lemon juice, flour, and vanilla to the sweet potato mixture, and mix until smooth.
  • Shape the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan, then poke the bottom of the crust with a fork a few times to prevent air bubbles. Pour the sweet potato filling into the crust. Bake 60-70 minutes, until the center of the pie only jiggles slightly when shaken, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
