The best pie on earth. No lemon zest for me.
12/20/2011 07:26:35 PM Report AbuseHere in the South we use sweet potatoes, the darker red the better, (they have less strings than yams), to step it up a notch, sub sweetened condensed milk for evaporated milk and the sugar, you won't regret it. I add vanilla and I don't use any spices, I save that for pumpkin. If you want your pie to be light and fluffy like a souffle, beat it longer. Good luck.
