Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is from Anita Smith, a nursing school friend of Mom's. I have seen this called Japanese Fruit Pie in other places, too, but it seems very Southern (Anita was from Mississippi)... reminiscent of a chess or vinegar pie, but also similar to pecan pie (with extra goodies!)
