Do You Like Coconut

A cold and windy day
Nothing new to post
so I thought
what did I write - one year ago today.
Glad I checked
some research for new ideas of what is good for you
and I discovered the wonder of Coconut....
A bag of  Coconut is sitting on my kitchen counter
and Coconut Pie
you will soon be in the oven....



MARCH 13, 2012

There is nothing sweet in the cottage
for me to eat.
I remembered the bag of coconut
purchased several weeks ago.
Kept having memories of a pie
that years ago was made frequently.
So easy to whip up

Phone is ringing, it is my daughter
Laurie from Florida.  I shared that
I might make this pie and she told
me she liked it when I posted old
recipes that she grew up with.
She is starting to make them :)

Also, daughter Jamie and little one
stopped by for a quick visit and told me
coconut is one of  her husbands
favorites.  Will have to make it for him..

Found the stained old recipe card.

French Coconut Pie

Pour 1/2 cup milk over a can of coconut 8oz
in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes  (I used half a bag and there was probably 10 oz)
Drain coconut and add enough milk to make 1/2 cup
Add 1 cup of sugar, 2 beaten eggs,
1/2 stick of softened butter
Whip together until blended and
add 1/2 tsp vinegar at the very end.
Put in unbaked pie shell
350 degrees for about 1 hour or a little less

Good
Had to have a slice
before I took the image...
