2 hours 15-30 minutes
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
  • 2-3 sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup firmly packed golden brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground mace
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 Tbsp rum
  • 1 (9") unbaked pie shell
DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven for 350°.

Pierce potatoes with fork. Bake until soft and slightly caramelized on outside, 45-60 minutes. Cut open and let cool completely. Scrape potato flesh into a bowl; mash or rice until smooth. Measure enough potato puree to equal 2 cups.

Position a rack in bottom third of oven and increase heat to 400°.

Place sweet potato puree in large bowl. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, mace, allspice, salt, eggs, milk, cream, and rum and stir to combine until smooth.

Bake pie until filling is puffed around edges and set in center, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
