This is Helen's eldest son, Allen's, favorite pie recipe.
3 eggs; 1 cupful of sugar; 1/2 cupful of butter; 1 cupful of preserves (of jelly); flavor with vanilla.
This recipe makes filling for two pies.
That is the end of her directions. The filling should be poured into 2 prepared unbaked pie crusts. Oven temperature and bake time were not included.

Comment from Rose Pecar: WOW! Never saw that picture - how nice! Theresa and Kathy, I presume. Best to use Strawberry preserves - nice chunks of strawberries makes a good firm pie - NOT FOR DIABETICS.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day. Love, Mom
As long as we don't have to bone a duck or cook a lobster, I'm game to start trying these recipes. We should try to do one a week. All in favor?
ReplyDeleteTheresa think "Tur-Duck-en" Tommy will walk us through it...not for certain it would be Grandma's recipe.
ReplyDeleteOh duck and lobster -- yum yum.. I need a good recipe for cooking duck! I LOVE duck almost as much as I love lobster, or I love lobster almost as much as I love duck.... either one.... yum, yum... thanks for bringing it up!

ReplyDeleteYour Aunt Ethel makes those jelly pies at least once a year, usually over the holidays. I'm pretty sure she told me that recipe came from Aunt Dod in Kentucky...but will have to confirm with her. Oh yeah, and those jelly pies are the best...way to go MOM !!!

OK, so I'm a little late in posting this, but I did make some jelly pies when this was first posted. I was just starting a diet (gee, what great timing) so was calorie conscious. I replaced much of the sugar with splenda, then discovered that the volume of splenda was very much less than the volume of sugar. So instead of making 2 pies, it only made one. (Since I had already made two crusts, I had to make more filling!) I used homemade blackberry jam - very yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe end result was a delicious pie, but, according to my dad, not exactly like Grandma's. I'm sure the texture suffered as a result of the splenda - it didn't get that gooey, sticky, pecan-pie-filling stickiness. But it did taste good. I wouldn't suggest altering it - maybe just throw out the diet for the day or save up your calories and splurge on a little piece!
