Lemon apricot pie

1 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1⅓cupEagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
¼cupLemon juice
gramRind of 1/2 lemon
1cupApricot pulp
Baked pie shell (9 in.)

Directions

Blend together Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, lemon juice, grated lemon rind and apricot pulp. Pour into baked pie shell. Cover with whipped cream or meringue. Chill before serving. If meringue is used, beat two egg whites until stiff and add two tablespoons of granulated sugar. Spread on pie and bake in a moderate oven (350F) until brown.

To prepare pulp, drain off liquid from canned or freshly stewed apricots and force through a coarse strainer. [These days I'd say use a food processor. Remember, this book is pre-just about everything but electric refrigerators. Prunes can be used in place of the apricots. S.C.]
