Grandma Meg's Raisin Pie image

Whenever I bake this pie, I think of the days of the Depression. Meat was hard to come by then, so Grandma Meg would tell my dad, "If you go hunt for a rabbit or peasant for Sunday dinner, I'll make a raisin pie." We had lot of wild game and raisin pies during those days!

I'm not a huge fan of raisins, but I really enjoyed this pie. The lemon zest really balances out the sweetness of the raisins.

The crust was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.
