246. _Lemon Pie._

For one pie, take a couple of good sized fresh lemons, squeeze out the

juice, and mix it with half a pint of molasses, or sufficient sugar to

make the juice sweet. Chop the peel fine, line a deep pie plate with

your pastry, then sprinkle on a layer of your chopped lemon peel, turn

in part of the mixed sugar or molasses, and juice, then cover the whole

with pie crust, rolled very thin--put in another layer of peel,

sweetened juice, and crust, and so on, till all the lemon is used. Cover

the whole with a thick crust, and bake the pie about half an hour.
