Answer 1

Sliced SweetPotato Pie

Ingredients:
pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
3 medium-size SweetPotatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds total)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 layer of pastry, set aside.

Wash, peel and cut SweetPotatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Combine 1 cup of water and the salt into a large saucepan. Add SweetPotato slices. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until SweetPotatoes are just barely tender when pierced, about 5 minutes. Drain slices, then rinse them with cold water until they are cool to touch. Drain slices well, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

To SweetPotatoes, add sugars, lemon juice, flour and pumpkin pie spice. Toss gently with a spatula until slices are evenly coated. Spoon SweetPotatoes into pastry-lined pie plate, dot top of potatoes with butter. Place top pastry over filling and crimp top and bottom pastries together to make decorative edge. Cut 3 to 4 slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Bake in 425 degrees F. oven until crust is browned and SweetPotatoes are tender when pierced, about 50 minutes. (If edges of crust start to brown too quickly, drape lightly with strips of foil. Cool pie on wire rack at least 1 hour. Serve warm or cool.

Hawaiian Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:
2 cans (l-lb, 7·oz size) sweet potatoes, drained
1 can (9 oz size) crushed pineapple, undrained
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1/2 cup packaged dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 dash cloves


Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F.

Mash potatoes in medium bowl; measure 4 cups. Stir in pineapple, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper. Turn into 1-quart ungreased casserole.

Combine remaining butter with bread crumbs, brown sugar, and cloves. Sprinkle over potato mixture; bake 30 minutes.

Answer 5

Make a sweet potato "souffle." Souffle is in quotes, as it is not a true souffle.
Combine 4 lbs. of cooked, mashed sweet potato with 1 stick butter, 1 cup sugar, 4 eggs, 3 Tbs. self-rising flour, 1 cup milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. each of vanilla extract, coconut extract and almond extract. Divide mixture between two souffle pans. Combine 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 2 Tbs. firmly packed brown sugar and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of souffles. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. It will get light and fluffy like a souffle, but you won't have to mess with separating the eggs, and beating the egg whites.

Answer 6
