Vinegar Pie I Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Vinegar Pie I Recipe). This is a very old pie, probably invented by people who had little access to fresh supplies such as lemons or cream. Some say that it was the pioneer women who first thought up the idea. The lemon extract in this recipe is a my addition. The original recipe calls for regular vinegar which, for me, gives a bland pie. You can substitute apple cider vinegar, leaving out the lemon extract, for a very good taste. Be sure to let the pie crust cool before filling.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Mix the flour with 1/2 cup of sugar. Add the water gradually and cook on top of a double boiler for 15 minutes stirring constantly or until thickened.

Step 5

Meanwhile beat the egg whites until foamy and gradually add the 6 tablespoons sugar. Beat until a stiff glossy peak is achieved.

Step 6

Pour the custard filling into the prebaked shell ( the custard should still be hot if not heat up a again before adding to shell). Top with the meringue. Spread the meringue all over the top of the pie sealing to the edges of the crust. Place into the oven and bake until the meringue is a nice nut brown about 15 minutes. Traditionally this pie is served hot.
