Recipe
DIRECTIONS:
Boiled sweet potatoes until done . Peel and scoop into a large bowl, add 1 stick of butter, and beat with mixer on low speed until smooth.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In bowl, stir 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and cloves. Add to sweet potatoes and stir until blended. In a small bowl, beat eggs and 1 cup half-and-half. Whisk into sweet potatoes until well blended. Pour into pie shell.
Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until filling is set. Remove pie to a wire rack and let cool completely.
Turn oven to 400. Place pecans in a small baking dish and bake in oven until toasted and lightly bowned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove let cool and chop.
Before serving, in a medium saucepan, combine remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons half-and-half, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; let cool without stirring 10 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in pecans.
Spoon topping over filling around edges of crust, leaving about 4-inches in center uncovered.
You don't have to use topping if you don't want to. You could leave the pie plain.
My Mom make hers with a graham cracker crust, which is very good.
Sometimes I add coconut to the sweet potato mixture. That's the way I like it.
