Mary's Lemon Chess Pie

If you love lemons, try this pie.

1 whole lemon, deseeded and cut into small pieces (rind and all)
1/2 cup Smart Balance, cut into small pieces
4 large organic eggs or 2/3 cup of egg whites
1 ½ c. granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Note: If your lemon has a thick white rind under the yellow skin, peel the lemon—place the yellow peeling in and cut off some of the white rind—discard excess. The white rind may cause it to taste bitter if there is a lot of it.

1) Place all ingredients in a blender and process on high speed until it is thick and looks a little lumpy.

2) Pour into a baked pie shell. [To bake the pie shell, cook at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.]

3) Cook at 350 degrees until the filling is firm—about 30-40 minutes.
