dissolved. Stir in butter and vanilla. Cover the surface of custard
with plastic wrap and chill until no longer warm. Slice 3 bananas;
fold into custard with whipped cream. Spoon into pie shell. Chill
until set, about 4-5 hours. Shortly before serving time, place lemon
juice in a small bowl and slice the remaining banana into it. Melt
jelly in a saucepan over low heat. Drain banana; pat dry and arrange
on top of pie. Brush banana with the jelly. Sprinkle with grated
lemon peel. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings
