Vinegar Pie Recipe – Little House Pioneer Recipe

While the name may turn some people off, the pie is actually quite tasty.  It was one of the more unusual pies that Ma made, with this one featuring as a Christmas Pie in Little House in the Big Woods.

Ma was busy all day long, cooking good things for Christmas. She baked salt-rising bread and rye ’n Injun bread, and Swedish crackers, and a huge pan of baked beans, with salt pork and molasses. She baked vinegar pies and dried-apple pies, and filled a big jar with cookies, and she let Laura and Mary lick the cake spoon.
