Frank's Sweet Potato Pie

One of my favorite desserts is Sweet Potato Pie. My mom and grandmother would make it for me as a kid. We would always have it as a dessert during the holidays. I could never find anyone to make it the way grandma did, so I asked her for her recipe. Over the years, I've made a few adjustments to the recipe to make it mine.

Over the years I've brought pies into work to share with my co-workers and now the ask me to make some every year around the holidays. I always talk to people about making gifts special and unique to the person you give the gift too. Since my co-workers and friends like my pies so much, I started baking last night. I ended up making six pies. I wrapped the pies up this morning and attached a card with the recipe and a Christmas/Holiday card. I'm sure I'll still get requests to make the pies, but now my friends have the chance to make the pies themselves. For my family in Florida, I'll be there in a few days to make your pies!

I can't make pies for everyone, so below is a copy of my recipe. If you have any questions, leave me a comment. Happy Holidays to Everyone! I hope you enjoy your gift below.
