Vintage Vinegar Custard Pie image

You usually had eggs from chickens, milk & butter from cows and sugar and vinegar as preservatives for fruit, vegetables & meat. Serve fresh berries on top of each slice, strawberries, blueberries or raspberries with cream. This is good. Old, old ranch recipe. My Aunt Laura would make this for us. This has no milk.
