stuart's caramel pie |
|
My friend Stuart can grow about 17 different kinds of peppers in the summer, has awesome variety in what he eats, and is a far better writer than I will ever be. Caramel pie is yet another example of ohana-style food sharing/evolution. Stuart got the original family recipe from his friend James, who hails from Tennessee. Stuart kindly sent it with me, with the "thumbs up" to share it here, and I added a little spin on the original. Either works, just take your pick.
I solemnly swear that the cans will not explode when you boil them. It was a leap of faith, but well worth it. Serve tiny slices because it is very rich.
