Today’s recipe comes from “Miss Alma,” a local legend. For many years she and her husband operated a restaurant called “Ed and Alma’s” that served what we in Arkansas affectionately call good home cooking , When Ed died in the mid 70s, Miss Alma continued operating the restaurant until it sold in 1982. She retired in an on again, off again fashion until she finally quit the restaurants business for good. She was coaxed out of retirement to cook for a local realtor and his friends for an occasional lunch. Needless to say, you wanted to become a “friend of Lib” if for no other reason that to sample some of that great Southern cooking whipped up by Miss Alma.
Ed and Alma’s, now known as Ed and Kay’s, was and is famous for its pies. They have even been written up in Michael and Jane Stern’s RoadFood. Take a look at that meringue!
There was always a lot of variety of pie to be had, and usually people would head straight to the pie cabinet to make their selection either immediately upon being seated or after ordering entrees. There was no time to be wasted since some of those flavors seemed to vanish as soon as they were sent out from the kitchen. Probably the most iconic pie Miss Alma made, and one carried on by Kay, is the PCP.

That sounds awesome!!!!!! I love pineapple and coconut. Why not throw this together with pecans for an outstanding pie? Great recipe. Thanks.
That looks like it should be prepared with a danger warning….Oh my goodness, it looks delicious……

Pineapple and coconut are my favorites! I have to try it.
That pie looks great!! I need to buy some coconut so I can try it.
YUM! OMGoodness,,, that is something… Never heard of this combo. I’ll be tryin’ it. the only thing, this wouldn’t even interest my husband so I’m not sure I could EAT THE WHOLE PIE!
P.S. I have made several attempts to try and stick your little crock pot button on my blog without success. I even went back and took off another button on my page and re-attached just to make sure I was doing it correctly. I can attach it, but then when I click it, it doesn’t refer back to your page or any other page, the message is that it is not a found site. Can you help me? what am I doing wrong? thanks!!
Wow! That sounds over the top. It looks gorgeous. With that combo of ingredients it just has to be good.
I will check on that tonight. Sorry you are having trouble. If all else fails, we will just go with a posted picture of it:)
I have heard and read so much about Ed and Kay’s but have never eaten there. I think about it everytime I drive to my daughter’s house in Dallas, but it is never mealtime. (need to change my driveby time, don’t i)
Thanks for posting my canvases!
Both pies look so yummy. Congrats on Crock Pot Wednesday. Unfortunately, I gave my Crock Pot away a number of years ago, so I don’t have any recipes to share. But I’ll enjoy reading.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and letting me know about Crockpot Wed. I had a post ready for URS, but she switched the theme. I will definately be back.
Thanks for hosting!
