I make pumpkin pie when I'm thinking of my Pilgrim ancestors who came over on the Mayflower. And sweet potato pie when I'm honoring my ancestors who landed in Virginia about the same time. Both good, but different.Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131812739348646014.post-40000074729853087382011-07-01T07:08:42.770-07:002011-07-01T07:08:42.770-07:00Thank you!

A lot of my friends have asked me about it because they've never used it.

I'm guessing that's before they get mushed into pies. I suspect the original recipe for sweet potato pie came about when someone tried to beat one into submission. But they do look rather good just lying there in a pie shell, sorta imitating pumpkin. I like pumpkin.

Was it part of a jumprope rhyme??
