Old Fashion Raisin Pie

My grandmother loved raisin pie. I am not a big fan of raisins myself, however she absolutely was. This is a very old fashion recipe. Not a lot of spices but you know, back in the day spices where hard to come by and expensive.


Old Fashion Raisin Pie:

• 1 1/2 cups of seedless raisins
• 1 tablespoon of flour
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1 cup of chopped nuts
• Grind rind of lemon
• 2 -Unbaked pie shells (not frozen)

1. Wash the raisins and cook them in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Boil until the raisins become tender.
2. Combine the flour and sugar, then slowly add to the raisins. Stirring until it thickens.
3. Add in the lemon juice, rind and nuts.
4. Pour the filling into the pie shell.
5. Top with the other pie shell and make vents so steam escapes in the oven.
