This is one of my mothers recipes, and she got it of a can of evaporated milk (Pet) she made this pie for well over 70 years, she died in 2009 and I have been now making it, and I must say that after mom passed I began to make pie crust from scratch and have now perfected it, it always come out great. Kids will not eat a store bought pie, it has to be grandma's, so I am caring on the family tradition and making moms pie and crust.
