Lemon Chess Pie from Farm Journal image

From the Farm Journal's Complete Home Baking Book, pg 300. This recipe had more lemon juice than any other recipe I found already posted. Per the cookbook: "Old plantation favorite brought here originally from England. Its buttery-rich custard filling has a nut-brown topping."
