Grandpa Pack's Oatmeal Pie

I found this recipe years ago and am now copying it here from our family cookbook binder. Enjoy!

Oatmeal Pie

2 cups sugar 

4 eggs 

½ cup butter

1 ½ cups Karo syrup

1 ½ cups oatmeal (leftover hot cereal)

1 1/2 cups coconut

1 cup milk

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cloves

1 1/2 tsp salt 

Mix all together and pour into two pie shells.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

The story goes that my Grandpa Pack was a truck driver and he had this one restaurant that he liked to stop at that served oatmeal pie. Every time Grandpa would go in, he would ask if he could have the recipe. They always told him no. Then finally, after probably years of doing this, a lady at the restaurant said, "I don't suppose you are going anywhere or are going to open up your own restaurant, so you can have it." And thus, we have this recipe to share with you today.
