Chess Pie — Mrs Huston

In Jeremiah’s prophecy of the new covenant, Jeremiah explicitly says, “It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers, when I led them by the hand out of Egypt” (Jer. 31:32). How will it be different? For one thing, it will be unbreakable (v. 32). For another, all the members of that covenant will be regenerate, the law written on their hearts (v. 33). Yet another difference will be that the covenant will not operate according to natural lines of birth and descent, but through spiritual birth (vv. 29-30). Here the discontinuity between the new covenant and the Mosaic covenant is enormous: a covenant of grace, not works; a covenant that regenerates rather than kills; a covenant entered into through spiritual rather than natural birth. And yet for all this discontinuity, Jeremiah is clear that this new covenant is the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel, made to their forefather Abraham.

Mrs. Gordon S. Adams & Gurna Gilbert  A chess pie is a custard pie,
with or without the addition of fruit.  This is a tropical recipe for
this Southern favorite, though the most  traditional versions usually
use buttermilk. Chess pies often are  baked in small pastries for
individual servings and sometimes are  topped with whipped cream or
preserves at serving time. Cream the  butter, adding the sugar
gradually. When blended, add the raisins and  beaten eggs. Bake the
crust  on an inverted muffin tin. Fill the shell 3/4 full, and cover
with  meringue. Cook in a moderate oven, and, when  the meringue has
browned slightly, stir the meringue briefly into the  mixture with a
fork. Chess pies keep a long  time. Posted to recipelu-digest by LSHW
