Pie Project: Ohio Lemon Pie

"Ohio Lemon Pie"


A rather cryptic name for a mid-last-century culinary fad, started by the Shakers.
According to Joy of Cooking, this pie was big news before the age of Ron Popeil; home cooks all over the Midwest were baking up versions of this pie with that Exotic Semi-Tropical Import: the Lemon.
I found the recipe intriguing and decided to give it a try.
