Combine sugar ,cornstarch ,and salt in a heavy saucepan stir well . combine egg yolks,half and half,and milk and beat untill blended. Gradually stir into sugar mixture untill smooth . cook over med heat stirring constantly . transfer to a glass bowl,stir in butter and vanilla . cover with plastic wrap and cool to room temp. take 1 c coconut and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning . arrange the coconut in bottom of pie crust . Pour cooled custard mixture over coconut and cover and chill untill firm .
