Sweet Potato Pie Recipe (with Captain Morgan)
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes 2 eggs 1 1/4 cups evaporated milk 3/8 cup white sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 2 tablespoons rum 4 tablespoons melted butter 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust Preheat oven to 425. Put all ingredients (except pie crust of course) into food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into pie shell. Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven. Reduce heat to 300. Bake for about 50 more, or until filling is firm. Ok guys, here's my take on it. I use the big can of Bruce's yams, minus one chunk usually, it's about two cups that way, and I don't bother to mash them. A little less sugar (about 1/4 cup), I do rounded measurements for the spices, so there's a little more than called for. I also throw in a dash of ginger. I put in 3 generous tablespoons of rum (doesn't have to be Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, but that's what I've always used). I put the whole shebang into my blender, and blend away until nice and creamy. I find I have to use a deep dish pie crust. Bake as suggested, but I find it always takes longer, like depending on the day, it could be in there for an hour and a half at 300. I put a piece of aluminum foil over the top with a circle cut out of the middle if my crust starts to brown too much. So there you go, good luck! If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them, but its pretty easy, and soooooooooooo good! |

| 2-3 Tb. rum, that's what I use. I too love the extra spices. yummy recipe. Have you ever tried adding rum to cream while whipping it? |
| I cheat, I use cool whip, lol. Now I'm thinking about whipping it myself and using rum........ good use for the extra rum, not that I have "extra" when hubby is home. When he's here, I have to buy a little bottle and hide it in case the guys come over..... |
| I made this pie last night.mmmmm. Loved just tossing it all in the blender, clean up was a breeze. I used 1/4 brown brown sugar instead of white (thats what I use in pumpkin pie too) Baked around 1 hour 25 min., but I had several other things in the oven at the same time.
This morning we cut the pie at about 10:00 and by 11:00 it was gone. The only complaint...I didn't bring the rest of the bottle of rum. |
| I've never tasted sweet potato pie, but love pie so maybe I should try it!! |

you have no idea what you are missing |
| Question on this one - does this taste similar to pumpkin pie? I LOVE sweet potatoes but do not care for pumpkin pie. Never tried sweet potato pie but I think that if this is not close in taste to pumpkin than I may just have to whip one of these up (the only thing I would need to buy right now is milk). |
| I don't know what to tell you on that one. I don't like sweet potatoes.....but I love this pie. I do like pumpkin pie, though, and its the only way I eat pumpkin, lol. Maybe someone with more potato vs pumpkin experience can answer that one. |
