Summer Favorite: The Amish Cook's Luscious Lemon Pie

By Kevin Williams

We do have a lot of lemon lovers on Amish365, more than I had thought at one time.  So I'll keep the occasional lemon recipes coming.  Lemon seems especially enjoyable on warm summer days and those are not in short supply in the Amish Country in July and August.

Reader Barbara was kind enough to make The Amish Cook's version of lemon pie and share it all with us.  Thank you Barbara!    Doesn't this make your mouth water?
