This recipe is in my collection of depression era items. From what I have read it was common in the late winter and early spring when all of the pie timber was exhausted. I have not made it but it sounds like it would make a decent pie.

Poverty Pie
1 c. sugar
3 heaping tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 c. cold water
3 egg yolks (reserve whites)
1 whole egg
2 tbsp. butter
6 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
Mix sugar and flour in saucepan. Add water, egg yolks (reserve egg whites), whole egg, butter and vinegar. Cook until thick. Pour into baked 9 inch pie shell. For Meringue: Beat reserved egg whites until stiff. Add 4 tablespoons sugar, spread over pie. Put pie in a hot oven for a few minutes to lightly brown meringue.

My mother lived through the depression and continue to make some dishes for the family. She went from the Depression to WWII with rationing. No wonder she was glad to see the 50's come.

Thanks Aunt Bea, I never did get around to Cider Vinegar Curd...now I know it's possible!

I am still stuck on the lemon curd. I love to spoon it over a bit of yogurt.

And if you don't have lemon, lime is sooo good too! Problem is it disappears so fast...
