Now, on to the pie!
ed and kays
Today’s recipe comes from “Miss Alma,” a local legend.  For many years she and her husband operated a restaurant called “Ed and Alma’s” that served what we in Arkansas  affectionately call good home cooking ,  When Ed died in the mid 70s, Miss Alma continued operating the restaurant until it sold in 1982.  She retired in an on again, off again fashion until she finally quit the restaurants business for good.  She was coaxed out of retirement to cook for a local realtor and his friends for an occasional lunch.  Needless to say, you wanted to become a “friend of Lib” if for no other reason that to sample some of that great Southern cooking whipped up by Miss Alma.

Ed and Alma’s, now known as Ed and Kay’s, was and is famous for its pies.  They have even been written up in Michael and Jane Stern’s RoadFood.  Take a look at that meringue!



Miss Alma’s P C P Pie is still a tradition today.  You don’t go in asking for Pineapple, Coconut and Pecan Pie --- it’s P C P.  Here’s her version:
PCP Pie ala Miss Alma
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon corn meal
1 tablespoon flour
5 eggs
pinch of salt
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 cup drained crushed pineapple
1 cup flaked coconut
1 stick butter, melted
1 unbaked pie shell

Beat the sugar, corn meal, flour, eggs and salt together.  Stir in the pecans, pineapple and coconut.   Stir in the melted butter and mix well.  Bake  at 300 degrees in an unbaked pie shell approximately 45 – 60  minutes or until the pie is set.    (You may need to cover the edges of the pie crust with foil or with a crust guard before the pie filling is completely cooked.)pineapple. coconut, pecan

  5. YUM! OMGoodness,,, that is something... Never heard of this combo. I'll be tryin' it. the only thing, this wouldn't even interest my husband so I'm not sure I could EAT THE WHOLE PIE!

    P.S. I have made several attempts to try and stick your little crock pot button on my blog without success. I even went back and took off another button on my page and re-attached just to make sure I was doing it correctly. I can attach it, but then when I click it, it doesn't refer back to your page or any other page, the message is that it is not a found site. Can you help me? what am I doing wrong? thanks!!

  9. Both pies look so yummy. Congrats on Crock Pot Wednesday. Unfortunately, I gave my Crock Pot away a number of years ago, so I don't have any recipes to share. But I'll enjoy reading.
