Can I order a Staley Ball over the phone and pay for shipping? PLEASE
How much are these? Both of my grandpas, my uncles and lots of cousins worked there. Would love to have this as a keepsake.
A Staley tradition continues with A. E. Staley’s family from his native area. A. E. Staley’s great-nephew, Randy Garner, made this coconut cream pie from the 1926 recipe in the Staley Journal for their Thanksgiving celebration out east. Randy still owns part of the farm that A. E. Staley grew up on in North Carolina. What a delicious dessert they will have!
That was my first one but it will not be the last. It really is delicious. The next one will look better I am sure. Not bad for a recipe from 1926.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Wow! Very cool! Every Thanksgiving, employees would get free coconut pies made from coconuts from Mr Staley’s home in Florida. I can find the Staley Journal article if you want.
