Jicama Caramel Pie

I posted this in my twitter , and I would like to share this spectacular Jicama Caramel Pie , for those who like pies I recommend this to all to try this, the taste of mouthwatering caramel we love, I am sure everybody loves caramel.

If anybody would like to make this , you won't regret it. I know Jicama does'nt have that  interesting taste , but with caramel its really works and added to it is toasted walnut ,and a pinch of cinnamon. 

Jicama is very similar to apple, water chestnut, turnips.This root vegetable is commonly and extreme food source in my country, we used this for stir fry, salad, slaw,and we didn't know if we could turn out this to dessert or for afternoon tea. And people usually eat this for snacks, sliced it into fine sticks and dip into spicy vinegar,or shrimps paste. Anyway,I thought about this Jicama if i could make this a pie, so I made it , and turns out very well, and delicious. 

My friend asked me if what do I making I said' A pie ,she said a pie out of jicama ,are you serious? I said yes , wait and see and taste it and find out your curiosity.
