I had never made sweet potato pie before and since I had loads of sweet potatoes left from Thanksgiving, I thought I would give it a try.
Total success, I do believe I love it more than pumpkin pie!!
No canned ingredients here, just fresh sweet potatoes from now on!

I would never have thought to make a pie out of sweet potatoes. I think I still have a bunch left in dark storage from our CSA. I might have to try this! It looks delicious!
