French Canadian Maple Sugar Pie image

I found this recipe in the Maple Syrup Cookbook by Ken Haedrich. He says it's like a pecan pie with a nice tart edge, and that it's excellent with vanilla ice cream. Where the recipe calls for brewed tea, he suggests using lemon herbal tea. I can't wait to try it!
