Pineapple Pie (Johnny Cash’s Mother’s Recipe)

I was making a couple test recipes for pineapple vinegar last week.  Both are recipes I’ve wanted to make for about a year now, but every time I used fresh pineapple, I didn’t have time to use the peel for the vinegars.  Suddenly, it felt like wasting food every time I threw out pineapple peel.  Last weekend I needed to test the vinegar recipes, so I bought the pineapples, trimmed off the peel, put all the fruit in a large Ziplock bag, and tried to convince my family that pineapple goes with every meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

1. Beat together all ingredients.
2. Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake 50 minutes in 350-degree oven or until it sets and is brown.
