Arizona Sunshine Pie

This is a senationally citrus pie and is so easy to make. You just throw five ingredients together in your blender and pour it into a unbaked pie shell.Bake 40 minutes and you have the zestiest sweet-yet-tart lemon pie you ever tasted. It tastes like you worked for hours on it. You don't even squeeze the juice from the lemon. Just throw the whole thing into the blender, peel and all. This recipe came from a Nebraska newspaper.
