3 c roasted sweet potatoes
1 1/2 c sugar
6 Tbsp butter, melted
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 Tbsp kentucky bourbon i use jack!
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger
1/2 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
1 1/2 c whole milk
1 9" pie shell

Steps:

1. preheat oven 350F Please use a 9" deep dish pie plate! Enjoy kids!!!!
2. wash and clean about 6-8 medium size sweet potatoes ( I use garnet yams) Bake for 45-60 min until just soft..let cool slightly so you can handle them and clean out all meat. I know this may seem like a lot of work but it is well worth the effort. Give it a shot REALLY!!!
3. Place potatoes, sugar, melted butter eggs vanilla and bourbon, salt and spices in food processor. Mix thoroughly. Add the milk and continue to mix.
4. Pour batter into pastry pie shell. It will come to the top worry not...it will be wonderful. I place the pie plate on a baking sheet lined with parchment to avoid spills.
5. Bake for one hour and check with a knife if it comes out clean it is done...depends on oven, mine took almost 90 minutes.
6. Let cool to room temp and enjoy with ice cream, whipped topping or nothing at all. It is just plain GOOD!!!!
