This recipe can be used for pumpkin pie as well. So, so good and so many precious memories. Pie crusts were made ahead of time https://youtu.be/NJOiOyiPciQ and the sweet potatoes came from our garden https://youtu.be/TOL5tZk-ZC4

SWEET POTATO PIE
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
5 eggs - separated, (room temperature)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cup mashed sweet potatoes

Whip eggs white to a soft peak and set aside
Mix all the dry ingredients together and set aside

Mix egg yolk with a little milk.
Add sweet potato mash and lightly mix
Add the rest of the milk
Mix in the dry ingredients.

Fold in the egg whites with a whisk

Pour into unbaked pie crust (makes 2 large pies)

Let completely cool before cutting
Keep in the refrigerator

THE INSPIRATIONAL GOLDEN THOUGHT
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear.
Then He'll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
