¼ cup sugar + ½ tsp. nutmeg + ½ tsp. vanilla (pure)

My story:
My Grandmother Mamie Preston Porter migrated from Hattiesburg, Mississippi to Berkeley, California in 1947 and decided to stay.
She brought with her my father Murphy Preston and my aunt Edna Jean and all of her famous Mississippi recipes.
One that stood out was her famous Sweet Potato Pie.
Folks back home would ask her for it time and time again.
We have been enjoying this pie for four generations now and while we can’t share the recipe, we would love to share the pie! Enjoy.
