Sweet Potato Pie

3 cups of cooked sweet potatoes mashed
1 can evaporated milk
2 eggs
1-2 tsp. vanilla flavoring
1/4 teaspoon cloves, nutneg and cinnamon
1 stick melted butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 deep dish pastry pie crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dock the pie crust using a fork. Docking will prevent a bubble from rising up in the middle of the crust. Bake the pie crust for 6 to 8 minutes...just to set it. Mix all of the ingredients until smooth and pour into the pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes.
*** If you have any extra filling, bake it in a corning wear dish. It can be eaten like a pudding. I also do the same thing with the extra pumpkin pie filling. ***
