2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
2 eggs
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Recipe
Combine sweet potatoes and brown sugar; beat approximately 2 minutes with electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs and beat another 2 minutes on medium speed. Blend in spices, salt and condensed milk. Add orange and vanilla extract and beat for about 1 minute. Pour mixture into prepared 9 inch pie shell. Sprinkle with streusel topping and bake in 375 degree oven for 50-55 minutes or until knife stuck in center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil to prevent over browning. Yield: 8 servings.
Pie Crust:
1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Crisco shortening, butter flavored
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-4 Tablespoons ice water
Sift the flour, sugar and salt onto a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender work the Crisco into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture comes together. Form into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out between tow pieces of wax paper and place in pie pan. Flute edges and fill with sweet potato mixture.
Streusel Topping:
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons cold butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix together with fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of sweet potato pie before baking.
