Blue Ribbon Recipe

Not a fan of sweet potatoes? This recipe will convert you. Sweet potato pie is an old-fashioned Southern pie. This version is especially creamy and rich in flavor. The blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger creates a filling that's perfectly spiced. There's a teaspoon of bourbon that adds notes of caramel and vanilla enhancing the fall spices and upping the flavor. This is an exceptional sweet potato pie recipe for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

How To Make my sweet potato pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mash sweet potatoes.

Step 2

Add sugar, spices, melted butter, and eggs. Blend until smooth.
Step 3

Add the bourbon, vanilla, and milk. Mix.
Step 4

Once completely mixed, divide the mixture evenly into the pie shells (I prefer Mrs. Smith).

Cover the edges of the crusts with foil so they don't burn. Bake for about an hour.

Let cool to room temperature. May be served alone or with whipped cream.
