Harvest Sweet Potato Pie

SUBMITTED BY: Fae Fisher

"'THE PIES were baked a few days before the holiday gathering and then placed in a tall pie safe on our back porch. My father called this 'royal pie', fit for a king with its deliciously different flavor. This is another hand-me-down recipe, a treasure in our family.'"
