Ingredients

3 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Separate the eggs.
3 Combine 3/4 cup white sugar, flour, salt, crushed pineapple, sour cream, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Gradually pour the cooked pineapple mixture into the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly; return mixture to the saucepan. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat and let cool.
