Moms Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press the pie pastries into two 9-inch pie dishes.
• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and let cool.
• Beat potatoes, sugar, eggs, milk, margarine, vanilla extract, lemon extract, cloves, and allspice together in a bowl until smooth; pour into the prepared crusts.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, onion and red pepper. In a small bowl, blend remaining ingredients; add to potato mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, add potatoes and 1/2 tsp salt, cover with water. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook until fork tender and drain. In another saucepan, add the butter, brown sugar, pinch salt, pineapple juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened some - won't be real thick, more like a glaze. If you want a thicker glaze, add a small amount of corn starch to the pineapple juice before adding. Once sauce is to desired thickness and potatoes are cooked. Add the drained pineapple to the glaze and cook until heated through. Stir in the vanilla. Gently toss the sweet potatoes with the glaze, being careful not to break up potatoes too much. Heat through for a few minutes and pour into a serving dish. Sprinkle with pecans if using. Serve immediately.
