SWEET POTATO PIE 
Pastry crust mix
3 lbs. sweet potatoes
2/3 c. granulated sugar
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. lemon juice
3 eggs, beaten
1 c. light cream

Preheat oven to 450. Roll the pie crust, line the pan, and prick the shell on the bottom and sides with a fork. Bake 10 minutes, remove from the oven and lower the heat to 375 degrees F.

Boil washed sweet potatoes. Once the potatoes are fully cooked, beat with a fork, should be flaky. The skins can be removed by picking up gently with a fork. Mix the sweet potatoes and sugar.

Add butter, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, salt and lemon juice; mix well. Gradually add the eggs and cream; mix until smooth.

Pour the mixture into the partially baked pie shell. Bake the pie at 375 degree F. for 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. CANNED SWEET POTATOES CAN BE SUBSTITUTED.
