Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil; stir in the grits.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat, and stir in the sugar and butter/margarine.
Gradually add to the bowl containing the beaten eggs, about ¼th of the hot mixture; add the egg mixture to the remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly.
Cook over low heat until the mixture thickens and reaches 160 degree F (about 8 minutes).
Remove from heat, and stir in the flaked coconut and sour cream.
Spoon mixture into the prepared pie crust; cover and chill.
Garnish, if desired.
Makes one 9-inch pie.
