I have always been fascinated by the Amish way of life. Especially the recipes, so when my friend bought me an Amish cookbook I was thrilled. Now I am slowly making my way through the cookbook trying out recipes.

Although not all the recipes have turned out well for me, I am determined to master the art of Amish Cooking.

This Vanilla Pie is so delicious all you need to add is a hot cup of coffee or tea or a glass of ice-cold milk.

Gather all the ingredients and supplies before starting. You don’t want to get started and then find out you are missing a key ingredient. Happy Baking!

· ¼ cup brown sugar

· ½ cup molasses or light corn syrup

Directions:

1. Combine all the above ingredients, except the vanilla in a saucepan.
