Mom-Mom Bessie's Coconut Molasses Pie image

I'm the keeper of my husband's grandmother's handwritten recipe book. Mom-Mom Bessie was one of the best cooks I knew, and we think of her every time we make this pie. The flavor combination of coconut and molasses is a family favorite. -Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania
