Sunglow Motel-Cafe Pickle Pie

The Sunglow Motel-Cafe in Bicknell, Utah serves a very unique pie: Pickle
Pie. The recipe for this pie was developed by Cula Ekker.

The recipe given here is their recipe, as it appeared in a Salt Lake Tribune
article that is framed and hangs on the Cafe wall.

   * 5 eggs
   * 2 cups sugar
   * 1 tsp. cinnamon
   * 1 tsp. nutmeg
   * 1 tsp. lemon extract
   * 2 tbsp. cornstarch
   * 1 cup + 2 tbsp. light cream
   * 1/8 cup margarine, melted
   * 12 oz. sweet pickles, drained and ground
   * 2 unbaked 9-inch pie shells

Beat eggs and sugar until lemon colored and thick; beat in cinnamon, nutmeg,
lemon extract, cornstarch, cream and margarine. Stir ground sweet pickles
into mixture.

Pour pickle mixture into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour
to one hour and 15 minutes, until a knife inserted in center comes out
clean.

Makes two pies.

Note: Although the recipe says to bake for one hour to one hour and 15
minutes, I'd suggest checking it earlier (perhaps at 45 minutes) just to be
safe, because when I tested it at one hour the pies I made were already
clearly past done. -- RTC 15:22 Nov 14, 2002 (UTC)

Note: I found by accident that increasing the pickles from 12 oz. to about
17 oz. introduces a distinct "fruity" flavor that the original recipe does
not have. Both versions are very good, in my opinion! -- RTC 19:04 Nov 17,
