Pineapple-Grits Pie

This caught my eye... looks interesting....looks simple enough...

It could vastly improve my Betty Crocker skills
(that are severely lacking)

...I could work it into the rotation as an experiment....


Yeah... that's it... " Oh Honey...look what Bigdaddy made." (G)

Pineapple-Grits Pie

2 Cups water
1/2 Cup uncooked quick-cooking grits
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (9-inch) graham cracker crusts


Bring water to a boil: add grits and salt, and return to a boil.
Cover; reduce heat to low, and cook five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat.

Combine grits, pineapple, and cream cheese in container of an electric blender: process until smooth.

Add eggs, one at a time. Add sugar, milk and vanilla; process until smooth.
Pour into crusts. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour or until mixture is set.

You can also use stone ground grits (cook for 25 minutes) and fresh pineapple.
To remove some of the bits of corn meal, you might want to sift the grits first.
