If you are looking for a unique dessert to make this Thanksgiving, try this recipe for Pineapple Buttermilk Pie. One bite and you will be hooked. This pie has a very old-fashioned taste and texture to it.
It reminds me of the real homemade pies one might find in a roadside diner where the waitress’ name is Thelma, or something your grandmother would make. There is nothing mass-produced tasting about this, just simple down home goodness.
Trust me. You’ll want to make this pie over and over again.

Mavis, I’m drooling over the pie plate! Those deep scalloped edges must make crusts so easy! Please, please, please have a link for this so I can buy one EXACTLY the same? Thanks! Sarah
Ps – how many of those pajamas did you get!?!

Anything with pineapple rocks! And that pie plate is fabulous. You inspire me and my son (14) to garden and my son wants me to build more raised beds. Well he does help build them so i really can’t complain. And every recipe that I have made from your website has been great. The last thing I made was the pumpkin and lentils in the crockpot. Delicious!

I just took this out of the oven and can’t wait to try it tomorrow for our early Thanksgiving dinner.

This looks like my Great Aunt Hildie’s recipe. She was born around 1890. She insisted we had to eat every fruit God made for us at least once a month, and this was the only way I’d eat coconut LOL. She was a hoot – I bet she’d have given Mavis a run for her money (as she used to say).
