MOM'S RAISIN PIE
My Mom made delicious pies of all kinds! Because she baked pies so often, she didn't always have fresh or canned fruit with which to make them. On those days she made raisin pie, which we all loved. After I was married, I was so happy one day to find raisin pie at my town's local coffee shop. But after I took one bite, I...

GRANDMA MEG'S RAISIN PIE

OLD-FASHIONED RAISIN PIE
"My family came to Texas from Virginia after the Civil War," relates Debra Ayers from Cheyenne, Wyoming. "Two brothers helped drive a herd of cattle up the Chisholm Trail to Abilene, Kansas. The boys decided to stay in Kansas and open a meat market. They did well. One brother sent for his girlfriend back in Texas to come and marry him. She did, and she brought this recipe. The family has been making this pie ever since.

Tips:
- Use a variety of raisins. Golden raisins, black raisins, and Thompson raisins all have different flavors and textures that can add depth to your pie.
- Soak the raisins in hot water before adding them to the pie. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful.
- Use a combination of spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that pair well with raisins. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness of the raisins.
- Don't overcook the pie. The raisins should be plump and juicy, but not mushy.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
Conclusion:
Raisin pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, tangy flavor and flaky crust, it's the perfect pie for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give raisin pie a try.
