Aunt Helen's Pineapple Pie
makes 1 (9-inch) pie
Recipe from Patty Pinner
Before I got married, I purchased a thick notebook and drove 30 miles every Saturday morning to my Aunt Helen's house in Flint, Michigan, where I would sit at her kitchen table and copy down her recipes and cooking secrets. Cooking for a man was Aunt Helen's specialty. Serve this pie at room temperature.
