  1. Mine was so good....was so surprised....this pie is amazing....did decrease sugar by 1/4 cup....it is delicious!!!!

  2. Super easy and delicious! It was getting rave reviews before I had even finished serving it. Since it's a family recipe, I understand how sometimes the little details don't get written down. This is what I learned with this pie: It is only enough filling for an 8-inch pie dish (I made a homemade crust in a deep-dish pie plate), although it does puff up and rise enough to sort of hide the extra crust on my 9.5-inch dish. I didn't know if the pineapple should be drained or not, and if it was canned or fresh. I was using fresh pineapple, so I pulsed it in the Ninja blender to crush it, and then drained all but the last 1/4 cup. I felt that the drained pineapple made a nice custard-like filling, and the undrained pineapple added a bit of texture to the filling. The top of the pie browned and crisped up automatically, and created a really light crunch that complimented the filling. Thanks for sharing, mailbelle!

  3. Delicious and picture perfect! I used 1/4 less sugar and drained the pineapple. Made a homemade butter pie crust. Got rave reviews at the luau I brought it to.

  4. To drain the canned pineapple or not to drain the canned pineapple that is the question.

  5. This was a really good pie, but it was very very sweet. I'm sure many of you out there love that sweet southern taste, but it was a little much for me. The pineapple was a great flavor and the texture is great! A creamy custard with a little crunch from the pineapple. My crust didn't turn out very well, so just ignore that in the picture :) Thanks for posting the Mama Cash recipes Mailbelle!

Tweaks

  1. Made this and OMG over the top sweet. This time I made it using 1 large can crushed pineapple drained, 3 lg eggs, 2 tbsp vanilla, 6 tbsp flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp of drained pineapple juice. Fills deep dish 10 pie shell. Meant to add a pinch of salt, just to enhance the flavor. Baked 1 hour 20 to compensate for the extra fillings. Soooo much better

I've lived in several different places (Mississippi, New York, Germany, Montana, Georgia) because my husband was a military officer, but we decided to make Alabama our home after his military career. I've worked for the US Postal Service for the past 15 years and love my job! I've been married for 27 years to my best friend and have beautiful twin daughters (pictured below). One is an art major and musician (she plays viola, guitar, piano, drums, and has the voice of an angel). The other is a French major, Starbucks barista, and ballet dancer, formerly with Ballet Magnificat and now an apprentice with the contemporary ballet company, Arova.<img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee299/mailbelle/food/22ndbd-1.jpg">My biggest pet peeve? People who bash the Post Office. Given the resources it has the Post Office does a remarkable job. For less than 50¢ someone will come to your house, pick up a letter and deliver it to the other side of the country in a few days time. What a bargain! The majority of postal workers I know are dedicated hard-working employees who take pride in their jobs. Just like in any company/organization you will find some slackers but the reason so much is heard about bad service or bad employees in USPS is because the Post Office is one of the only agencies that touches every American's life. Anytime you have a service problem, instead of just complaining to your friends & family, ask to speak to the postmaster/station manager. If you don't get the result you want write a letter to your congressman. All congressional inquiries are promptly addressed. The fact is that most people find it easier to complain and do nothing rather than do what needs to be done to address the issue.<img
