My mom use to make vinegar pie and I would not try it for a long time. Finally I did give in and I was pleasantly surprised that the taste is reminiscent of lemon chess pie. Mom's custard was so creamy, it would melt in your mouth. I knew I needed to share this recipe. Of course I put my twist on it with the meringue on top giving it a lemon meringue pie look.
Vinegar pie is a creamy decadent pie that has an unexpected lemon flavor that is tart but sweet just like lemon chess or lemon meringue pie. Adding the light and fluffy meringue on top lightly toasted takes the flavor to the ultimate level. Don't knock it until you at least try it. You can use frozen deep dish pie crust or make your own pie crust. Deep dish gives the pie more depth for flavor.
