photo by ms teaMake your own sweet potato pecan pie with those sweet sweet potatoes!

Ingredients
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
2 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 2/3 cups light cream
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup chopped pecans

Bake sweet potatoes until tender, peel and mash. Make sure all lumps are removed, straining if necessary.
Lightly beat the eggs. Then blend together eggs and sweet potatoes. Next, stir in sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Blend in the cream. When finished, pour into pie shell.
Bake in preheated oven at 400°F for 45-55 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge of pie comes out clean. Cool completely on rack.

To make Caramelized Pecan Topping: Combine butter or margarine, brown sugar, and pecans. Gently drop by spoonfuls over cooled pie to cover top. Broil 5 inches below heat until mixture begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Watch carefully, if cooked too long, top will turn syrupy. Cool on rack.
