[@maureenedonovan9935]

I am doing it for a Christmas family brunch and am adding two teaspoons of rum flavoring instead of vanilla. Whipped cream on top before serving.

The Only Person In In My Family That Knew How To Bake A Coconut Pie Was My Mother's Oldest Sister. She Was From East Texas !! ( Where Are You From ) ? She Also , placed The Beautiful Tall Meringue On The Top. I Remember When I First Saw That Pie Come Out The Oven I Was Going To Love It And I Sure Did !! The Closet Thing To Heaven 🙏🏼❤😇 Where She Is Now !! Her Full Course Meals And Baking Was Always Prepared Daily Between 11:00-12;00 Noon. Anyone From The Community Could Always Come By For A Meal And Was Always Welcomed In Her Kitchen , For A Good Meal And A Dessert Always Baked. My Mother Loved Her Coconut Cakes And Pies , Actually Anything With Coconut. My Mother Just Passed This Year In February 2019 And Your Husband's Love For Your Pie And Coconut Cakes Is A Memory Of My Mother's Sweet Tooth.🤗🍰🎂 My Mother Was Like A Little Girl During The Holiday Season . She Would Have All Her Ingredients Ready To Bake Her Pineapple Coconut Cake With The Swann Cake Flour And Other Ingredients ,Which Made Her Cakes Super Moist. Mom's Major Was Math And Science/Minor Was Home Economics And Was A Great Seamtress As Well.She Taught Elementary Education 50+ yrs. And Loved Teaching ,Chikdren ,People, And Especially The Lord. She Would Tell Me Many Stories Of Her Past And Food And Clothing Was One Her Favorite Stories To Talk About. Plenty Of Food On The Table And Making Beautiful Dresses And Under Garments Using Flour Or Potato Sacks That Were Beautiful. I Know This Is About Your Gorgeous Coconut Pie , But ,The Memories Of Her Past Is Surrounded Around Your Southern Ways And Sharing Your Food To Your Church Family. I Purchased Everything For A Coconut Cake And Coconut Pies For This Holiday Season And Will Use Your Recipe. My Aunt Didn't Measure And Could Not Give Me The Recipe For Her Pies. I Will Miss My Mother And Aunt Both This Holiday Season And For The Rest Of My Life , As Well As Their Baby Sister Who Passed In December 2018 . Thank You For Making This Video And Have A Merry Xmas To You And Your Family. May God Bless You !! 😇❤🙏🏼

I’m so glad to hear from you. We are in Travelers Rest South Carolina. I lost my husband on august 29this year, after 33 long days in Hospital ICU ETC. He was my very best friend and companion. We were like 2 peas in a pod. His favorite cake was pineapple coconut. When you love deeply, you grieve deeply. My older sister died this past week. Her funeral was Saturday Dec 7th. Maybe soon I can do the fresh Coconut cake on you tube. I put it together while it is still hot. Everyone seems to really enjoy it. Thank you for your sweet comments. Wish you the best Christmas ever and God Bless you and those you love.

[@tcjones4386]

Beautiful pies! You could put the buttermilk in the butter to cool it, then add that mixture to the eggs. This pie is best when cold from the refrigerator. If you don’t have buttermilk, sweet milk works well, too. Margarine is only a molecule away from being plastic, use butter.

[@dreamingrightnow1174]

Truth. Life is too short for margarine.

[@zezmerelda240]

you can use clabber milk if you have no buttermilk

[@MmmDnBbitch]

@@zezmerelda240 Do what?

[@zezmerelda240]

make clabber milk. take a cup of milk, add 1 Tablespoon of vinegar. stir. the milk will sour, and you can use it in place of buttermilk. Enjoy!@@MmmDnBbitch

[@SandyK1]

That looks awesome. Thanks for sharing God Bless

[@southforyourmouthcooking]

If you make 3 regular pies, there is 1 cup sugar per pie. When you make 2 deep dish pies, they are thicker, so they can b cut into smaller servings and portions out real well.
