Old recipe my great grandmother brought over from England in the 1800s..that was revitalized with the Muslim community as an alternative to the sweet potato pie. . If you enjoy pumpkin or sweet potato pie you'll love this. Don't snub the bean lol its lovely. You can play with the cinnamon and nutmeg some to suit your taste. Great addition to the holiday menu
