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.
