Mom’s Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients

• 1 pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
• 4 cups peeled chopped sweet potatoes
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
• 1/3 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press the pie pastries into two 9-inch pie dishes.

Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and let cool.

Beat potatoes, sugar, eggs, milk, margarine, vanilla extract, lemon extract, cloves, and allspice together in a bowl until smooth; pour into the prepared crusts.

Bake in the preheated oven until pies are set in the middle, 40 to 60 minutes.
