Dee Jackson, advancement
2 large sweet potatoes, washed
1 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1–2/3 cups evaporated milk
2 eggs, well beaten
1 9-inch unbaked pastry shell
Miniature marshmallows
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with boiling water. Water should be about 2 inches above potatoes. Cook until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, when cooked enough to handle. Peel.
Mash sweet potatoes in a large bowl; blend in sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. Blend thoroughly. Add evaporated milk and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs. Pour mixture into prepared shell and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
If desired, decorate the edge of the pie with miniature marshmallows. Line the edge with two or three rows of marshmallows. Pop under the broiler for 1 minute to brown marshmallows. Do not let them melt. Makes 1 9-inch pie.
