Country pie bakers have the lemon habit—it’s a touch of genius they rely on to produce extra-good eating. They add lemon juice or grated peel—some-times both—to many pie fillings to enhance flavors. When you are looking at recipes in this book, notice the frequency with which lemon appears in the list of ingredients. Lemons have the remarkable ability of bringing out the best taste in many foods, including other fruits.
It’s the reason many farm women keep cans of frozen lemonade concentrate in their freezers. The custard in the two recipes, Lemon Coconut and Fruit Cocktail Pies, owes its marvelous taste to the frozen concentrate. Both pies are handsome. And in both of them the tangy lemon taste glorifies the coconut and canned fruit cocktail.
