Sweet Potato Pie

Freezing Sweet Potatoes

  • Choose medium to large sweet potatoes that have been cured for at least one week. Sort according to size and wash.
  • Cook until almost tender in water, steam, a large pressure cooker or the oven. Let stand at room temperature until cool. 
  • Peel sweet potatoes and mash. To keep from darkening, mix 2 tablespoons orange or lemon juice with each quart of mashed sweet potatoes.
  • Pack into containers, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Seal and freeze.
