Thanks for the feedback. I got it a little late but that is ok, if I would have gotten it sooner I would not have added the cinnamon and nutmeg to it. I did not add the allspice though. But it taste wonderful with the cinnamon and Nutmeg. 1/4 tsp of each.

Well, Chef Rick used “probably” in his un-informed opinion of the use of cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg in your sweet potato pie and he is mistaken. Obviously he hasnt tried it because it is absolutely wonderful. It simply adds a “kick” of tasty spice that makes this recipe a keeper.

Adding cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg to the lemon would probably taste strange, I believe.

Can I add the allspice, cinnamon & nutmeg along with the original recipe. I had a soulfood cookbook and I loaned it out and never got it back. I remember lemon being in my pie and I also remember cinnamon & nutmeg… but I am not 100% sure. So back to my question: Can I add the 3 spices listed above along with the lemon, or will that make it taste funny? Thanks

I have used this recipe for about 2 years now. I have never been much of a cook, so a couple of years ago when I decided to make a sweet potatoe pie for thanksgiving I got strange looks from my sister and mother. Boy was I surprised by all the wonderful compliments, they were floored by the taste not mention shocked that I really made it myself.Well from that year on I am known as the sweet potatoe pie maker and I love it. This really is the best pie I have ever eaten.
