This is a pie my mother used to make and I just found her recipe in the cookbook that she put together for our church when I was 9 or 10.

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.
