Recipe By :Jeff Smith
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : pies

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups sweet potato -- cooked, peeled & mashed
4 tablespoons butter
3 eggs -- beaten
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup bourbon
1 pie crust -- unbaked

Boil the sweet potatoes until very tender, then peel and mash them well.
Mix all ingredients together and place in an unbaked pie shell.

Place in a 400 degree oven and immediately turn the oven to 325 degrees.

this by inserting a table knife into the center of the pie. If it comes
out clean, the pie is finished.

Serve with whipped cream or ice cream on top.
