This one is a hoot. Back when I did Pinterest it was (and still is) my #1 pin. When you look at the month x year table the views here on the blog (beginning in January) are like 1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-16-200-50. It’s a seasonal thing!

Really really good. Doesn’t hurt that the sweet potatoes were home grown.

JESSE JACKSON’S SWEET POTATO PIE

3 large sweet potatoes, quartered, boiled in water to cover until tender, about 40 minutes, drained, peeled, mashed in a mixing bowl until smooth
3 Tbsp butter
½ C milk, hot
2 eggs, separated, whites beaten stiff
½ C sugar
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp brandy
9-inch single crust pie shell, unbaked

Preheat oven to 350^o. Melt butter in hot milk, add to sweet potatoes in mixing bowl, and beat until soft and creamy. Cool slightly. Beat yolks until light, add sugar, salt, nutmeg, and brandy, add to sweet potato mixture, and mix well. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites, pour filling into pie shell, and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in center of filling comes out clean.
