Grandmother Kline's Coconut Custard Pie

  

 My cousin Linda was recently at the Salon for one of her maintenance appointments:)

during one of our many conversations,

I shared I was looking for a 

Coconut Custard Pie Recipe..

Linda was quick to share she had

an old cookbook of her

Grandmother Kine's Family Recipes...

and among those recipes,

was a simple and yummmy recipe

for 

Coconut Custard Pie,

which Linda swears is the best

Coconut Pie

North of Mississippi and along the entire East Coast...!!

I remember Grandmother Kline 

 being one of the sweetest ladies,

She simulated the true meaning of

"Grandmother"

Always had a treat for us and

a beautiful smile..

Linda's Grandparents lived in the house

directly beside her home,

The yards connected where we spent 

summers under the big Apple Tree...

My visit would always include 

a sneak away with Linda to

Grandpa and Grandma Kline's...

I cherish family recipes,

I was fortunate to have learned

most of my Grandmother's recipes

 watching and helping my mother...

The only concern is,

most are not written down,

they are stored in my small brain...

I really must take the time some day to 

journal them for future generations..

I occasionally get a call from my 

brother, Mike in Texas asking for a certain 

recipe or how this and that is prepared...

His usual response is...

"I think the kids will like it!?"

Seriously brother,

We both know your salivating for

one of mom's yummy meals or desserts..!!

 I give my chuckle and gladly 

recite the ingredients and directions...

This pie recipe is a winner..!
