I really do need to try making sweet potato pie someday. I've never
even tasted one, but glad to hear they're so similar to pumpkin.
What's this I read in another thread about using garnet sweet
potatoes? The recipes I see aren't that specific. I would use the
one that's pumpkin colored, not purplish.
