Personal Notes:
Burnt sugar is my favorite pie...hands down. As a new bride, I tried and tried to make it like my Mom's but the sugar always hardened when I added the custard. I thought it was ruined and threw away several pans of pie filling before learning that you have to keep stirring till the sugar melts again!!! She laughed at this and my early bean-cooking experiences. Relating my cooking failures, I added that my beans just never tasted as good as hers. She asked how much salt I used? Of course, that was the problem...I had used none!!
