Abby Fisher’s Sweet Potato Pie

Quickly skim the ingredients below, and you’ll notice a crucial missing element: spices. Unlike most of today’s sweet potato pie recipes, Abby Fisher’s didn’t include any cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, or other spices (and certainly not ginger!). The result is a pie with pure, unadulterated sweet potato flavor, accented by a slight note of orange. When I baked it for my family, they declared it the best sweet potato pie they’d ever had.
