Yield: 4 servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 \N | 20-oz can crushed pineapple in its own juice |
| ¼ cup | Lemon juice Grated peel of 1 lemon (I used more) |
| ½ cup | Sugar |
| 1½ teaspoon | Finely minced fresh ginger |
| 3 tablespoons | Cornstarch mixed with 3 T water |
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Cool slightly before pouring into a crust.
To gild the lily:
If you do make this into a pie, garnishing with sliced bananas glazed with heated, strained apricot preserves makes it even more festive.
The cookbook I got this from is anything but vlf, but here goes (I highly recommend it if, like me, you find making elaborate desserts for non-vlf friends a relaxing and enjoyable thing to do every now and then): Marlene Sororsky, _The Dessert Lovers Cookbook_, Harper and Row, 1985.)
