Mississippi Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

It was with no small gasp of surprise that we learned milk is the official beverage of the great state of mississippi. We wouldve guessed bourbon. Mississippi folks know how to make the most of that oh-so-southern spirit, as in this smooth and surprising take on a classic sweet potato pie. Well let you in on a few secrets. First, bake the sweet potatoes. Dont microwave or boil them. Youll be amazed by what this single step does to the flavor. Second, prebaking the piecrust ensures that it wont be underdone when the rest of the pie has baked. And finally, dont be tempted to skip the orange zest. Together with a little bourbon, it balances out the sugar factor so your pie will be just sweet enoughbut not too sweet. This dessert is perfect for the holidays or your next trip to the church fellowship hall. Its one dish youll want to put your name on.
