ICE BOX PIE

Do you remember having an ice box? I can remember it vividly. It sat in the corner of our old farmhouse kitchen. I loved going into town with Dad to get the big blocks of ice for the bottom drawer. It was fascinating to watch those big tongs life the ice and put it in the trunk of our car.

3 crumb pie crusts
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups pineapple
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 small pkg strawberry gelatin
1 regular size can evaporated milk, chilled and whipped

In a heavy saucepan mix together the eggs, pineapple, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Add the gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Allow the mixture to cool then fold in the whipped milk. Pour the mixture evenly into the 3 crumb crusts. Chill until firm before cutting to serve.
