Transparent pie is a very rich, very sweet southern dessert that is kind of a cross between a custard and a pecan pie filling without the nuts. Butter, sugar, eggs, a little cream and flour. Some people add a touch of vinegar or lemon juice to cut the sweetness and some put a brown sugar meringue on top. (I happen to LOVE brown sugar meringue!) Depending on the family, the sugar ranges from white to brown to molasses or maple and sometimes the cream is left out. Highly dependent on family preference and tradition. But sinfully rich and good. ;) I'm all for sinful, so this goes on my list. Thanks for filling me in. ~ MaryJane
