So this was a very good recipe however there is quite the learning curve and some technique must be utilized in making the pie- I learned the hard way. Be very careful when melting the sugar - if the heat is too high it will burn and if too low it will not melt. It takes quite some time. Also be sure to temper the eggs in the hot sugar mixture other wise you will have scrambled eggs. Bake on the middle rack or it will get to dark.

I made this at my parents for New Year's. It was a huge hit. Definitely a keeper.
