Grandma Lillie's Soda Cracker Pie

Submitted by Iva Lou J.

"This recipe is was given to me by a cousin at my wedding shower 16 years ago. She received it from her mother, Betty Ruckman, who had been given it many more years ago by my Mother's Mother, Lillie Craven. It would probably be good with any fruit or berry, if peaches aren't available."
