My favorite pie has always been pineapple. My mother would bake pineapple pie for me whenever I came home from college. On holidays, I would have three, one from my mother and one each from my two grandmothers. They were all good, but different. While looking through some of Mother’s old cookbooks, I stumbled on her pineapple pie recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

- Pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp. flour
- 2 egg yolks, well beaten
