Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 20 oz pineapple in its own juice (crushed)
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1/4 c lemon juice
- 3 t cornstarch mixed with
- 1 1/2 t ginger (finely minced fresh)
-water Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Cool slightly before pouring into a crust. To gild the lily: If you do make this into a pie, garnishing with sliced bananas glazed with heated, strained apricot preserves makes it even more festive. The cookbook I got this from is anything but vlf, but here goes (I highly recommend it if, like me, you find making elaborate desserts for non-vlf friends a relaxing and enjoyable thing to do every now and then): Marlene Sororsky, _The Dessert Lovers Cookbook_, Harper and Row, 1985.)
