Pineapple Pie – Week 3 of the Lost Recipes

The Blackcurrant Tiramisu from week 2 of our Lost Recipes series was so successful that we ran that recipe for an extra week! Exciting!

So technically week 3 is really week 4…… But we’re calling it week 3 as it’s still only the 3rd recipe. This week we are featuring a Pineapple Pie from 1932. This recipe will be available on our pie shelf from April 24-May 30.

We really love the fact that someone found this recipe in their grandmother’s cookbook. What is your favorite recipe that you have found in old hand-me-down recipe books? If you’d like to see your recipe featured in our series, email us at bookings@heritageranch.ca and we’ll make it for you!

“This recipe was found in my grandmother’s recipe box,” Kris tells us about her unique pie, which has a bright, flavorful filling and a graham cracker crust. The filling’s light texture is also unusual, somewhere between cakey and custdardy, making it easy to eat a whole slice even after the most hearty of meals. Kris doesn’t indicate why her grandmother dated the pie 1932, but we’d guess that it was the year she first made it. Kris notes that because her grandmother experimented a lot when cooking, “no recipe ever turned out the same as the last time she made it.” Even so, you’re sure to agree that this pie is great every time it’s made, especially if it’s served with whipped cream!
