Authentic Southern Vegetarian Sweet Potato Pie

draft

This recipe is completely authentic except that it isnt.

1. We use the Trader Joe's frozen to-be-baked crust and a glass pyrex pie baking dish.  2. Bake about 2.5 - 3 lbs of sweet potatoes at about 450 F for over an hour or until the sweet potatoes are squeezable.  Use a baking dish.  Insert a knife or fork into each sweet potato so it doesnt explode.   3. In a dish combine the (cooled) sweet potatoes with 1 cup sugar, vanilla, some corn starch, the peel of one orange, the juice of 1.5 - 2 oranges, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon.   Mix well.  Add cornstarch until you get the consistancy you are willing to live with for the rest of your life.  Is it sweet enough?  Too sweet? 4. Cook bottom of pie crust in oven for 10-12 minues at about 400 F. 5. Let pie crust cool a little bit and then add filling. 6. Make the executive decision about whether you want a crust top to your pie and add it if so.  7. Bake for about 30 minutes but do not let the crust burn. 8. Be careful not to burn the sh*t out of yourself.
