About

I entered this creations in the New Mexico State Fair. I won a blue ribbon. I developed this recipe because I love pineapple pies and pralines, so I thought the two together would be delicious. I was right, this is one of my families favorite. Remember what you make with all your Heart N Soul is made with Lots of Love and should be shared with others.
