Cantaloupe Pie Ala Texas and Pacific image

Recipe courtesy of: Dinner in the Diner - Great Railroad Recipes - T&P Railway was originally chartered by Congress in 1871 to establish rail service from Texas to San Diego. This pie was a signature dessert in their first class dining car. DH and I are avid railfans and his huge collection of models and memorabilia is all T&P badged. The original, ornate station in south Fort Worth was recently refurbished and sold as loft condominiums http://www.texasandpacificlofts.com - This has nothing to do with the recipe of course but is where we dream of living someday (after everyone else moves out and we have the whole building to ourselves, of course ;-)). I will make cantaloupe pies as I listen for the steam engines to come puffing up the tracks; a long wait for sure but hey, it is *my* dream!

I'm not a huge fan of cantaloupe, but I really enjoyed this pie. The sweetness of the cantaloupe was perfectly balanced by the creaminess of the filling.

This pie is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it the day before and it will still be delicious.
