Preheat the oven to 400 potatoes. As the oven is preheating wash and scrub the sweet potatoes. Add a little oil to each of the potatoes and place on a foil-lined plan. Let the potatoes cook in the oven for about an hour. You will know when the potatoes are done when you can easily place a knife through each of the potatoes.

Once the potatoes are ready let them cool until you are able to handle. Slice and scoop out each of the potatoes. You may have a little left over depending on how large the potatoes are. Scoop out the potatoes and place in a bowl you should have 2 1/2 cups.

Place the sweet potato into the blender add the half and half, ginger, or orange zest

Combine all the sugars, spices and cornstarch. With the motor still running on low add in the dry ingredients. Once this is well-combined turn off the blender.

In a medium-sized put melt all the butter. Once this is all melted add in the sweet potato. This is your chance to taste the mixture and make sure you like it. You can add in any spices that you think is missing but don't overdo it.

In the blender add in the eggs and add about 1/3 of the sweet potato mixture. You want to combine it for a couple of seconds. This will help to make sure that the eggs don't curdle when you add to the sweet potato. If you have any small chunks that is fine because you will be using the wire strainer.

Add the egg mixture back to the pot, and whisk all the ingredients.

Take the sweet potato off the stove, and place the wire mesh strainer over a bowl. Spoon in the mixture into the strainer. This step will ensure that your pie has a great texture.

Once done add into the pie crust, and bake at 325 for 40 mins. Let the pie cool in the oven with the door cracked. This helps to minizime the cracks in the pie.

Enjoy your pie with Ice Cream or Whipped Cream :)
