Old Fashioned Southern Sweet Potato Pie




There has been much activity lately around this, my beloved Aunt Ruby's sweet potato pie, which I posted 3 years ago.

Can you believe, right here is the midst of pumpkin spice season, this pie uses none? I do love those spices--cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, but I don't want everything in this season to taste and smell that way. You know what I mean--pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice room spray, pumpkin spice dog biscuits, pumpkin spice scones, pumpkin spice beer, and so much more. . .

You are just a click away from our family Sweet Potato Pie.

Enjoy!

  1. I love pumpkin pie. But a sweet potato pie has a deep flavor that does not compare, it is a more condensed flavor, and a silky texture.

    1. Melynda, I agree with you. I also love pumpkin pie but a sweet potato pie is completely different in taste and texture. Happy Thanksgiving! xoxox, Rocquie

  2. Love your version of sweet potato pie! Ours does use those pumpkin pie spices, and we prefer it to pumpkin pie. Need to make your Aunt Ruby's version -- it looks excellent. Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!
