AZ Sunshine Lemon Pie

1 large lemon
4 eggs
1 stick (8 tablespoons) melted butter
1teaspoon pure vanilla
1 ½ cups sugar
1 unbaked piecrust ( Don't be cheap here, use Marie Calendar's)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut lemon in small chunks leaving rind on. Remove seeds. In a blender or food processor, blend together lemon chunks, eggs, butter, vanilla and sugar until mixture is smooth and creamy. It will be fairly runny. Pour into unbaked piecrust. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. I usually strain mine 'cuz I don't like chunks.

If crust becomes too brown, cover gently with foil and finish baking. Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
