2097.0. "PIE: Shaker Lemon Pie" by RHODES::HACHE (Put Your Feet On Higher Ground) Fri Nov 10 1989 11:44

I am looking for a recipe for SHAKER LEMON PIE.  This is not like lemon
meringue pie, (pudding base) it is pie using finely sliced lemons.  I 
had a recipe for it a few years ago, but cannot find it now.  Has anyone
out here got a recipe?

    Cut unpeeled lemons into paper-thin slices.  Discard seeds.  Toss
    lemons with sugar in nonaluminum bowl.  Cover and let stand at least
    8 hours or overnight.
    
    Preheat oven 450 F. Line 8" pie plate with one dough round; trim
    edges. Beat eggs to blend.  Fold into lemon mixture.  Pour into
    pie crust. Cover with second dough round; crimp edges.  Brush top
    with half and half. Cut slits to allow steam to escape. Bake 15
    minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F. Continue baking until
    knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool
    completely.

If you don't marinate the lemons long enough you get the bitterness..also
be sure to slice paper thin.

    This pie originated with the Shakers, a fundamentalist religious
    group, hence its name.
