This pie I made is really ugly~ there's no way I'm showing the whole pie...    But, it taste so darn good...even if you aren't a "raisin" fan...you'll like this pie recipe~ I PROMISE! I need to work on my top crust skills... = )

Raisin Pie~

1 box raisins

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon vinegar

Cook in water until raisins are tender.

Mix~

1 cup sugar

5 or 6 tablespoon flour

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix and add to raisins and cook slow until mixture thickens. Pour into un-baked pie crust. Add pads of butter over pie. Add top crust. Bake @ 425 30 minutes or longer. Or until golden brown.

Pie Crust~

3 1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups vegetable shortening

4 to 5 tablespoons ice water

Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the shortening and work it in with your hands until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, working it in with your hands. Add only as much as you need to make a smooth ball of dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. For 2 crusts, cut the dough in two and put the second half back in the refrigerator. For each crust, roll the dough out on the floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Gently fold the circle of dough in half again so that you can lift it without tearing it, and unfold into a 9-inch pie pan.

Doesn't look like too many butter pats to me! I say you get points for even attempting a pie crust from scratch - I get help from the dough boy!

What's a homemade pie crust?????? ;-)

I've got my family thinking that Pillsbury has the monopoly on pie crusts, and the only way to get one is to visit the refrigerated/freezer aisle in the supermarket!

But, seriously, the pie looks yummy.

Tina,

I have never made or eaten a Raisin Pie. I actually think yours is the first one I have ever seen. It looks delicious!

I have just inherited some of my Grandmother's Recipe Books and I was looking through them just a couple of days ago. I noticed she had made comments on several Raisin Pie Recipes and also had added some more R P Recipes, she had cut out to save, to those pages. I was just thinking I needed to try one.

Yours looks YUMMY! I will give it a try.

Thanks!

I love raisin pie, and it absolutely doesn't matter how it looks.

My best friend makes sour cream raisin pie that is delicious. Have you had that kind?

[Brenda Kula]

Well, of course you can "like" butter. You're a skinny girl! I've never had raisin pie, now that I think of it. But that one does look awfully good. May have to try it.

I haven't had a raisin pie in so long! My mouth is watering. It's my daddy's favorite, so every Aug.20 -his b-day- my mom would fix one.

I must try one myself.

I hope all is well in Canton...the weather man just said a tornado touched down.
Keep safe.

[Kat]

Wow...that looks so delish! I've never had a raisin pie, but I KNOW I'd love it. I'm gonna try it for sure. I don't care if desserts are pretty or not, as long as they're yummy. LOL

Hugs!

Hope you are safe...just saw where a tornado destroyed the Canton Flea Market!

[Tasha]

Tina,

It's Friday evening at 9:35. I just wanted to check on you....I heard that the tornadoes went through Canton but I didn't know if you were there now or not.

I live in Arkansas. We were very blessed to have not had any loss or damage where I live. Others around us have though. Hope all is well.

Take care,
Tasha
