SWEET POTATO BUTTERMILK PIE
This is from a cookbook called "Best of the Best" and is attributed to the "Lee Bros". Been called a cross between sweet potato pie and cheesecake. OK,...I've since made it and the Buttermilk I think makes it taste so "off" what a sweet potato pie traditionally is that I thought it was just plain awful. My DH loves sweet potato pie (I'm a pumpkin pie fan) and swears I made this for Thanksgiving to sway our sons to dislike sweet potato pie and join the pumpkin ranks. It was too tangy and curdly. Good luck. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be appreciated...maybe just take the buttermilk clear out and replace with milk?...

CREAMY SWEET POTATO PIE
A rich creamy pie that fills the home with the smell of autumn. Also a nice substitute for those people who like the taste of pumpkin spice but not the custardy texture.

FLUFFY SWEET POTATO CUSTARD PIE
My grandmother made this dessert for us every Thanksgiving and Christmas. She passed the recipe to me and I started bringing the pies to parties at work. Feel free to add sweetened whipped cream and sprinkle on additional nutmeg for extra appeal. The secret to a perfect pie is to take no shortcuts. Soften, don't melt the butter and blend, blend, blend! -Valerie Lockett, Tumwater, Washington
