Mom's Banana Glaze Pie image

My mom has been making this for as long as I can remember. We thought that we lost the recipe but as she was going through her recipe drawer - there is was! We were so happy because mom turned 86 this year and if we had lost it, I know we would never have made it again. Hope you enjoy it like our family does!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 precooked pie shell
1/2 c sugar or a little more
1 1/2 c water
4 Tbsp corn starch - level
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 dash(es) yellow food color - just a drop

Steps:

  • 1. Boil over low fire (after you have mixed all ingredients above except vanilla). Stirring constantly until it thickens.
  • 2. Remove from range and add drop of yellow food color and vanilla.
  • 3. Pour over sliced bananas in precooked pie shell while mixture is still hot. You will need enough bananas to slice a couple of layers into the pie shells before you add the glaze. You can also sub bananas with other fruit - we just always used bananas!
  • 4. After cooling, top with whipped cream that is sweetened.
