| Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I made them both. The 'proof' was last

| Thanks for the suggestion and the link. Two comments on my results.
| 1. It says to butter the pie plate- I've now edited mine to say
| "heavily butter" - my crust stuck.
| 2. It says to freeze for 20 minutes before serving. Mine might not

|
| But that flavor. .. ohhhh baby.

It's great to hear that it went over so well. Congrats on discovering one of
the true "well kept secrets" of Florida cooking. And belated happy birthday
to your son. Thanks for the follow-up.
