Meet Our Finalists: Annalee Ash – Old-Fashioned Vinegar Pie

Can’t decide if Annalee’s Old-Fashioned Vinegar Pie was a surprise or a shock to the taste buds of the audience at the Semifinals. They loved it! Annalee’s Old-Fashioned Vinegar pie may very well change vinegar’s sour reputation to something delightfully sweet. The pie includes almonds. Some people compared it to Shoo-Fly or Chess pie. The only people not surprised by this pie’s popularity were Southerners.

Here’s Annalee’s Old-Fashioned Vinegar Pie Story.

This is an old recipe from farm wives who needed a dessert that could be whipped up quickly with ingredients that are always on hand for unexpected company or to provide a delicious big-farm mid-day dinner finish for extra help working on the farm.

It actually tastes like a lemon chess pie, and I very seldom ever tell what exactly it is until someone’s already tried the first bite. It’s quick, easy and delicious! And very pretty too…..Very suitable for a fancy meal’s end with company – or the preacher – and it’s easy and quick!
