Ingredients: two 2 lb. 8 oz. cans yams 4 large eggs 1 cup sugar 1â�„2 tsp. cinnamon 1â�„2 tsp. nutmeg 1â�„2 tsp. ginger 1 stick butter 1â�„2 cup evaporated milk 1â�„2 TBS vanilla flavoring 1â�„2 TBS lemon flavoring 1 pie crust
Boil yams for two minutes in their juice. Drain, and mash them with a potato masher. Add butter and stir until melted. Add the other ingredients. Mix for one minute at low speed, then mix for two minutes on medium speed. Pour into a pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes or until firm in the center. To assure a crust that browns well and does not get soggy on the bottom, start the pie on a lower oven rack for 20 minutes, then move the pie to an upper oven rack so that it will brown on top.
