I'm newbie Mark's "lovely wife," Amy. Thanks for calling me "lovely," Bruce! Sorry this post is so late, but I understand there was a request for the pineapple pie recipe. It's embarrassingly quick and simple, so you'll have plenty of time left in the day to lay around like so much fish or drive around in your motorcar (if you can still afford a tank of gas). Here it is:
In a bowl, mix 1 can crushed pineapple (in juice, not syrup), 1/4 cup sugar, a dash of salt, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of instant tapioca pudding mix, and 1 squeeze of lemon. Pour the mixture into the bottom pie shell. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to drain off about half the pineapple juice first. I neglected to do this with Bruce's pies, and the filling tends to boil and create large fissures in the top crust, which made them pretty darn ugly pies. Then, lay the top crust on top, pinch the edges together, and poke in the steam holes. Make sure you use just regular size crusts - this is definitely NOT a deep-dish pie. Then, bake for 45 minutes at 400 degrees.
Dear Reader Amy
