@Allegheny   This is my grandma's recipe for custard pie:

2 cups milk (she only used whole when she cooked)

1 cup heavy cream

3 eggs

2/3 cups sugar

3 tbsp cornstarch

2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp salt

baked pie shell

Heat milk and cream in saucepan until steaming.  Whisk eggs, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt in bowl.  Slowly whisk hot liquid into egg mixture.  Pour everything back into saucepan and stir over low heat until thickened (160 degrees on a thermometer).

Pour into baked pie shell and bake at 375 degrees until edges are set but middle still jiggles, 12-15 minutes.  Cool for 2 hours before serving.

Both of those tomato pies look amazing and delicious!

It's a full crust, top and bottom.  I use blueberry juice and freeze dried blueberry powder in the crust. 🙂

My husband just got a bunch of fresh peaches from Olson's farms and I will probably make a pie in a day or two because I want them to ripen a little more.  The rest we will eat or I'll make some jam.
