GRANDMA T'S PINEAPPLE CREAM PIE
My Dad's mom would make this for him every time we visited Illinois. As a child, I could hardly wait for the filling to cool enough to eat. The secret is to stir constantly for a rich, velvety smooth pudding-like melt-in-your-mouth experience. These instructions are per my grandmother, written down by my mother not too long before Grandma passed away. Grandma wouldn't give the recipe away until her last years. It's a family treasure now! Top the pie with meringue, whipped cream, or whipped topping.

PINEAPPLE SKILLET SPONGE CAKE
This is yet another recipe from my dear departed Mother's "new" BH&G Cookbook published in 1937. (I've submitted a couple of others from this treasure.) I've only made it in cast iron so cannot say whether or not another type skillet would work as well. This cake is FABULOUS! That's all I can say!! It is the only cake I've ever made from scratch and I'm still fascinated by the fact that sponge cakes rely solely on the eggs for leavening. Not only is it delicious, but it has a beautiful presentation. LOL! I just asked my DH if he had any comments and he said, "divide equally and share fairly with others"! Thank goodness we don't have any children, the way we act about it!! Sure hope someone else enjoys as well...let me know so I won't think we've gone bonkers :)**

Steps:
- Topping: In a heavy 8" ovenproof skillet (cast iron) melt butter and add brown sugar.

- Pour following batter over.
- Batter: Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored, add 1/2 cup of sugar, and continue beating.
- Add water, then fold in remaining cup of sugar sifted with flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Beat well and fold in egg whites.
- Pour over pineapple in skillet and bake in a moderate oven (325 degrees) 45 minutes.
- Cool, run knife around edge to loosen, and turn out on a large platter, pineapple side up.
- If desired, serve with whipped cream.
Tips:
- For a smoother sponge, use a blender or food processor to blend the pineapple and sugar together until smooth.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
- To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite topping.
