Imagine Candied Sweet Potatoes with dried Apples and Raisins. We had that for Thanksgiving Dinner. Sweet Potatoes from the garden and dried apples from my neighbor's tree with butter, brown sugar, raisins, and orange peel. They were fabulous but I made a lot and we had left-overs for a while.
When we tired of the Thanksgiving left-overs, I made a "Thanksgiving Left-over Soup". First step was to make bone broth with the bones. Then I added Turkey, pureed sweet potatoes, mushroom gravy, broccoli, and mushrooms. The soup was served over the left-over stuffing. It was like Thanksgiving dinner all over again in a soup. Oh yeah and we had homemade cranberry sauce with it too!
Anyway, when I pureed the sweet potatoes it got me to thinking about how I could substitute them for the pumpkin puree in my Coconut Pumpkin Pie Recipe... Inspiration!
We went to a Christmas Party/Potluck/Music Jam this weekend and brought this beautiful pie as our potluck contribution. IT was a big success. Give it a try. I am looking forward to making it aan for Christmas Dinner! YUM.Inspired Sweet Potato Pie

I have been thinking of a nice and delicious pie. I want to make one but I am confused if apple or sweet potato. I guess I have to go to sweet potato! Thanks for sharing th wonderful recipe.
Pie and sweet potato are my favorite and combining the two is just awesome delicious. I can't wait to try it on my own. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
That sounds heavenly! And so awesome that they were your own sweet taters. Ours never amounted to much here. Perhaps Germany truly isn't warm enough. The plants were beautiful though.
