Sweet Potato Pie

This has to be one of my favorite pies!

2 eggs
1/3 cup syrup
1 cup sweet milk
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Beat eggs light, add syrup, milk and sweet potatoes. In seperate bowl mix remaining ingredients then add to first mixture. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake in hot oven for 8 to 10 minutes, then lower to moderate oven for remainder of baking time. A long baking period in a moderate oven is necessary.
