Tried my great aunt's vinegar pie recipe and it wasn't terrible

Found the card in a box from her house in Toledo, dated 1962. It called for a cup of white vinegar, which sounded awful. Baked it last weekend expecting a sour mess, but it came out tasting like a sweet, mild lemon custard. The acid just brightens it up. Anyone have other old recipes that sound wrong but work?

Wait, vinegar pie? That sounds like a prank from 1962.

Have you actually tried it, @emmasingh?
