One of the greatest pie recipes I ever made, and by far one of the easiest and most loved in the Chess Pie.  A southern pie of mysterious origin with deep conspiratorial ties..it has a unique flavor kinda like pecan pie with no pecans?  Oh and its made with vinegar but you’ll LOVE it.  I told you its weird sounding and very mysterious but its AMAZING! Word to the wise… Make it, let it sit out for 24hrs and thats when its best…..
