PINEAPPLE PIE RECIPE, Here it is!

Hey y'all, lots of you requested the recipe and I thought I would just post it here so all can enjoy!

TWO CRUST PINEAPPLE PIE

Prepare crust for a 2 crust pie, here is the recipe I use:

2 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

2/3 cup lard (YES, LARD! Makes the flakiest crust. My Gran taught me to use it and it wont' kill you once in a while! LOL!)

5 to 7 Tablespoons ICE cold water

Mix the flour and salt together, then cut in the lard. Next add 5 T. of water, mix until it forms a ball. If too dry, add 1 T. water. Then mix, if still dry, add the next T. of water little by little, too much water will cause dough to be sticky.

Divide dough in half and roll out the bottom crust on a floured board. Place in piepan.(just a regular pan, NOT a deep dish) Next prepare the filling

Pineapple Filling

2 C. crushed pineapple ( I use a large can of Pineapple, drain it slightly.)

1 cup sugar

3 Tablespoons flour

1/4 tsp. salt

1 egg yolk

2 Tablespoons butter

1 tsp. Almond flavoring

Mix all ingredients together and pour into pie shell. Roll out the top crust, place on pie. Make small slits in top crust to let steam escape. Brush the top crust with a small amount of milk and sprinkle the top liberally with sugar.

Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes. Then lower heat to 350 and bake for 30 minutes or until the top crust is golden brown.

Let cool on rack.

This pie is super good when you enjoy it with a fresh cup of coffee! Let me know how you like it!

Char

Hello (((Char))). Gee it's sure nice to see a post from you. You have probably been posting, but I have been really busy if you read my post.

I absolutely LOVE pinapple, but have a question. If you use a store bought crust, it probably wouldn't turn out as well, would it? I do not have much luck with making my own. You'd go into hysterics watching me trying to make a pie crust.

I hope you and your family are settled and happy now. You deserve it.

Thanks so much for the recipe. I might have to deal with the crust problem to make this pie.

Love you and miss ya gal, Terry

Thanks, Char. AS far as I'm concerned anything with almond extract has to be good, lol. Sounds yummy, and you're right the lard does make a difference. I just started using it occasionally (at dh's request, his mom always used it), and it is much flakier. Will have to try this one. Charlie

Don't you think that if it had a more pleasant name than LARD it would be a bit more palatable? LOL! I myself prefer to call it by its Spanish name, manteca. Sounds more romantic that way!

Have never made too many pies--my youngest DD can make a killer one-- but this recipe sounds too good to pass up! Thanks, Char!
