I have never made a sweet potato pie. I know, I know. Living in Northern Maine, pumpkin pie is the go-to. So this year I am embarking on making one, but, it's with canned yams in syrup. My aunt gave me a few of the cans that she had received from a food distributor box. She had no idea what to do with them. So I went to the website that was on the can, www.moodydunbar.com. I found the Simple Sweet Potato Pie recipe that I can use the cut yams in, see below. I will let you know how it goes.
