Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
As you can see from the recipe, this pie takes a lot of work - you must stir constantly while the filling is being cooked, or it will burn. Granny Mabel still made this pie every time we came to visit or when she would visit us. Tom didn't like many sweets. When he was around 6 or 7, he got into the Halloween candy, He and a friend ate all the candy and, of course, got really sick. After that his Halloween cany had to be thrown out at Easter time and his Easter candy at Halloween. Despite this, he would devour this pie!
