SWEET POTATO PIE
SWEEPTO-PIE - A very simple holiday sweet potato pie
This is an extremely simple and extremely good pie recipe.
You can even cheat and use store-bought pie crusts, in which
case the whole thing takes about 5 minutes to put together.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 3-8)
1 1/2 lb sweet potatoes
1 cup granulated sugar
12 Tbsp unsalted butter (or use corn-oil margarine)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 pie crust, unbaked
PROCEDURE
(1) Boil potatoes until tender (20-30 minutes). Drain
and peel.
(2) In a blender, put the potatoes, sugar and butter.
Mix up a little, then add eggs, vanilla and nut-
meg.
(3) Blend ingredients together well, until mixture is
very smooth.
(4) Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake at 375 deg. F
for 45-55 minutes until filling is set.
NOTES
If you don't want to make your own pie shell, I find that
the Pet Ritz factory pie shells work well.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour bak-
ing. Precision: approximate measurement OK.
