Coconut Pie: a Holiday Tradition

As far back as I can remember, my family has enjoyed coconut pie at Christmas dinner. All our visitors and guests look forward to the pies. Whether there are two or four pies makes no difference--they all disappear!

The recipe below is an easy coconut pie--you don't even have to make or buy a crust. It makes its own crust!  There are many Coconut Pie recipes, including cream pies with meringue, but this one is more a custard pie. You might think that Texans would prefer pecan pies, and many do.  However, most of our acquaintances find room for both a slice of pecan and coconut.

<b>Texas Coconut Pie<b>

4 eggs, well beaten

1/2 cup self-rising flour

1 1/3 cup sugar

1/2 stick melted butter

1 tsp. <a href=http://www.watkinsonline.com/productsgroup.cfm?Parent=3&family=314&gCatalogLocale=USA&ECredit=380667&group=749 target="window">Watkins double-strength vanilla</a>

1/2 tsp. coconut extract

2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Pour into an empty pie pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. This pie makes its own tender, flaky crust.

For 3 deep dish pies, double the recipe and add another cup of coconut (total of 4 cups). Good served with or without a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping.  It is even better served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

If you have never had coconut pie, enjoy the recipe above and make a new tradition for your family.

A Quilter's Holiday $19.99 The Elm Creek Quilters are home for the holidays in this heartwarming Christmas story from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini. For the Elm Creek Quilters, the day after Thanksgiving marks the start of the quilting season, a time to gather at Elm Creek Manor and spend the day stitching holiday gifts for loved ones. This year, in keeping with the season’s spirit of gratitude, Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson Cooper is eager to revive a cherished family tradition. A recent remodeling of the manor’s kitchen unearthed a cornucopia that once served as the centerpiece of the Bergstrom family’s holiday table. Into it, each Bergstrom would place an object that symbolized something he or she was especially thankful for that year. On this quilter’s holiday, Sylvia has invited her friends to continue the tradition by sewing quilt blocks that represent their thankfulness and gratitude. As each quilter explains the significance of her carefully chosen block, stories of love and longing for family and friends emerge—feelings that are also expressed in the gifts they work on throughout the day. An early winter storm blankets Elm Creek Manor in heavy snow as the quilters find new meanings in their best-loved traditions and new reasons to be thankful. A Quilter’s Holiday is a story of holiday spirit, in its truest, most generous sense.
