I decided to try a new sweet potato pie recipe for Thanksgiving and thankfully I made these the night before. This recipe is awful! The pie turned out a funky color, definitely not the color sweet potato pies are supposed to be. I should have known this recipe was going to be bad when it called for the sweet potatoes and the light syrup. Thankfully I have time to make another batch in the morning. Steer clear of this recipe, it's an insult to sweet potato pies!
