ingredients

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup melted butter
2 cups sugar
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 egg yolks

directions

Puree all ingredients in a blender.
I have to do this in 2 batches to fit all the ingredients.
Pour each batch into a large container with a pouring spout (I use a plastic juice pitcher).
Pour filling into a uncooked pie crust.(This recipe will make 2 deep dish pies).
Bake in a 350 degree oven that has been preheated for approximately 1 hour.
I cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent over browning. I remove it after 30 minutes and rotate the pies so they cook evenly.
Allow to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
