Whey is the liquid that remains after milk has been curdled and strained.  It’s one of the by-products of manufacturing cheese.

This recipe for Old-Fashioned Lemon Whey Pie comes from the 1965 edition of the Farm Journal’s Complete Pie Cookbook.  Jill shared the recipe at her site, The Prairie Homestead.

This is a vintage pie that uses organic sugar.  It’s not 100% healthy but it would be a nice treat from time to time.  Jill hasn’t experimented with alternative sweeteners, and gives her opinion on using Stevia or Sucanat.  I was wondering how agave syrup might work.

Now I can hear you asking: “Where the heck do I get whey?”  I’ve got you covered.  This post explains how to make whey at home.    It’s natural and easy to make.

I have to say the pie looks totally yummy!
