2Add molasses and vanilla. Mix well.
3Whisk your cornstarch into your cream, then add both to the pan.
4Add the rest of the filling ingredients, save the yolks. Stir well and allow to bubble.
5Beat your egg yolk. Then a few drops of the pan mixture to the yolks. Beat. Then a little more, until the yolks are heated but not cooking as to temper the yolks. When this is accomplished, slowly add eggs to pan while whisking.
6Puree filling with a immersion blender.
7Remove from heat, then pour in a mixing bowl. Place in refrigerator.
8Make pie crust and press into greased pie dish. Set aside.
9To make meringue, take chilled whites and beat on low for 3 minutes, gradually raising the speed.
10Then add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla. Keep beating.
11When glossy, add a teaspoon of sugar at a time. When all is in, beat until you have soft to strong peaks.
12To assemble pie, pour chilled filling into crust, then add meringue, optionally making peaks.
13Place in a 400F preheat oven for 5 minutes. Then drop heat to 325F for 25 minutes.
