Recipe for "sweepto-pie"

NAME

     SWEEPTO-PIE - A very simple holiday sweet potato pie
     This is an extremely simple and extremely good  pie  recipe.
     You can even cheat and use store-bought pie crusts, in which
     case the whole thing takes about 5 minutes to put together.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 3-8)

     700 g     sweet potatoes
     200 g     granulated sugar
     180 g     unsalted butter (or use corn-oil margarine)
     2         eggs
     5 ml      vanilla
     2.5 ml    nutmeg
     1         pie crust, unbaked

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Boil potatoes until tender (20-30 minutes).  Drain
               and peel.
          (2)  In a blender, put the potatoes, sugar and  butter.
               Mix  up  a little, then add eggs, vanilla and nut-
               meg.
          (3)  Blend ingredients together well, until mixture  is
               very smooth.
          (4)  Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake at 190 deg. C
               for 45-55 minutes until filling is set.

NOTES

     If you don't want to make your own pie shell,  I  find  that
     the Pet Ritz factory pie shells work well.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour bak-
     ing.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
