Be sure to only use regular sweetened condensed milk (not fat free) for best results.
Use fresh lemon juice and do not omit or substitute – the lemon juice is needed to help the pie set up.
Be sure to drain your pineapple well before adding to the mixture.
Buy maraschino cherries without stems for easy chopping.
