Ingredients

1 ready to bake frozen pie crust

1lb. sweet potatoes, baked until fork tender, peeled and mashed

1/2 cup pure cane syrup

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/2 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg

5 large eggs

1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups pecan pieces

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup light corn syrup

pinch salt

whipped cream (optional)

confectioner's sugar (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, cane syrup, spices, 1 egg and 1/2 tsp. of the vanilla and mix well. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell. Spread the pecan pieces evenly over the filling.
In another large bowl, beat the remaining 4 eggs. Add the remaining 1 tsp. vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt and stir to blend. Pour over the pecans and bake until the filling is set and the pastry a golden brown, about 1 hour.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 1 hr. before serving.
