My husband’s grandmother, known as Mawmaw to all the grandchildren and in-laws, lived ro be over 100. Until she became too feeble and weak to do things for others, she always insisted on getting something for everybody at Christmas, even though her family had grown considerably. In 2000, her daughter and I helped her put together this cook book, a keepsake for the descendants. It contains her favorite recipes as well as cooking tips, recipes for life, and some family photos.
One of my favorites is her sister Vada’s pineapple pie recipe. I love pineapple, whether fresh, frozen, or canned, so this delicious pie suit me like no other!

My mouth is watering! I love pineapple, too – my grandmother used to keep little cans of it in her cabinet for me to eat as a snack when I came over! LOL! I need to try this!
