1 1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tarter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Boil above 5 minutes
Cool Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Break 12 soda crackers in 4 pieces each. Put in pie crust. Pour over liquid. Put on top.

Now, Grandma just supposed that one would know what temperature to bake this pie as that was the end of the recipe! So someone else will have to tell us that! Come to think of it---she cooked on a wood stove...so probably just stuck her hand in the oven and 'tested' the temperature to see if it felt right!
