A Pie for Thanksgiving

I love a pumpkin pie, I love a pecan pie... but around our house, the favorite pie at Thanksgiving is the vinegar pie!! It is a family tradition that came from our Aunt Sis who was Mr. Winget's sister. Give this recipe a try - you will not regret it!

Vinegar Pie

1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell (see Never-Fail Pie Crust recipe below)

1 stick margarine

1 1/2 c sugar

2 T flour

2 T vinegar

3 eggs

1 T vanilla extract

Combine margarine, sugar, flour, vinegar, eggs and vanilla. Blend well. Pour into the 9 inch pie shell. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes.

Never-Fail Pie Crust

1 1/4 c vegetable shortening

1 T sugar

1 T vinegar
