Crazy Surprise Pie

This is the most unusual, albeit delicious, pie you could possibly imagine. If you follow the directions precisely, it will have no sauerkraut taste. In fact, you may wonder why it tastes so much like coconut. To make sure this remains our little secret, don't leave the empty sauerkraut can where anyone will see it.

3/4 cup drained and chopped sauerkraut
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 9-inch pie shell

Preheat oven to 425 F. Drain sauerkraut very well; chop by hand or place in food processor and process for several seconds. Drain again to make sure it is very dry. Stir cinnamon into drained sauerkraut.

In a large bowl, combine milk, sauerkraut, sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Bake at 425 F for 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into filling 1-inch from the edge comes out clean.
