SUM . . .SUM. . . SUMMERTIME

Summertime is here. . . FINALLY!

It seems like we waited a long, long time for warmer weather. I think this is a good time to do a re-run, since that is about all there is on television in the summer, right? This summertime pie is one of my absolute favorites, both to make and to eat, and it is always a big hit. Enjoy!

WHAT'S COOKING

(picture not mine but looks very much like my recipe)

BANANA SUMMERTIME PIE

Crust:

Combine 1 1/4 cups fine graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts and 5 tablespoons butter, melted.

Press into bottom and sides of 9" pie plate and chill for 1 hour.

Filling:

Slice 2 medium bananas into shell. Blend 1 cup commercial sour cream, 1 cup milk and 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix according to direction on pudding box. Pour over bananas and chill.

When I take this to a picnic or pot luck people can't get enough of it. It tastes a little like cheesecake and that makes it so good, and the walnuts in the crust is a treat. I think it would also be good with pecans. Another quick and easy recipe and no baking involved. I found this in a newspaper back in the 1960's and has been a favorite ever since. I have made it many, many times.
