In reply to Chris Schwartz. I'm so honored to have her recipe on my blog Chris. The history of the pie is amazing thank you and thank Bebee for her wonderful pie recipe. And thank you for your service to our country.

Hi Mary, My name is Chris and I am Opals grandson. This pie was such a regular thing growing up that I didn’t make a big deal of it (everything my grandma made was wonderful). I was still fairly young when the recipe went to the White House during the Regan, Bush, and I believe it lasted through the Clinton years and May still be being served.. but who knows? Anyhow, just a bit of correction, the name is spelled Bebee, and my mother was in the Air Force and a friend of hers ended up running the kitchen at the White House by way of Naval service (if I recall correctly). That’s about it.. I hope everyone enjoys the pie as much as I have over the decades and yes, I make it regularly and I do it pretty well if I do say so myself

I’ve always wanted to try a different recipe than the one that comes on the can. This looks great!

It even looks creamier than Libby's PP. Yum!

This is going on my "to bake" list!

You can actually see the creaminess in this pie. Opal must have been one of the most popular people around. The only thing that would upset me is that once you eat it – it’s gone.
