Recipies

1 9-inch pie crust (make your own or use a store-bought refrigerated variety)
Nonstick cooking spray
3 cups cooked yams (fresh or canned)
4 tablespoons melted margarine
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Coat a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray and place rolled-out dough in pan, crimping the edges and pricking the bottom with a fork.

Drain and mash yams. Mix in margarine, eggs, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Then add evaporated milk and vanilla.

Pour mixture into shell. Sprinkle with pecans if desired. Sprinkle top with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. It's done when it no longer jiggles.
