Them 2 raisin pies or one raisin pies. Grandma used to mix brown and golden raisins together. She also made killer currant pies, and gooseberry pies. She used a wheat design also, and also put a egg whie and sugar glaze on the top crust. Mince meat was another favorite of mine.

What time did you say dinner was??????

You mention "dollop" and now all I can picture is a dollop of whipped cream on a slice of that pie.

You Yanks have some strange customs. My Granny used to make some killer Saskatoon Berry pies, but I don't recall she ever put them on the WALL!!!!

We used to eat em before they was even cooled down, and besides, her GLASS pie plates wouldn't nail to the wall real good

raisin pie is pretty easy, about 2 cups of raisins, 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 cup crushed walnuts, and a splash of lemon juice, are the main ingedients.

put the raisins, sugar and lemon juice in a pan and cover with water, bring to a boil and reduce heat then simmer till the raisins rehydrate, remove from heat. Slowly add a water and cornstach mix till the liquid attains a pudding like thickness. Let cool a bit pour into a pie crust and top with over crust, bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Stand by with dollops for good eats.....

OLD FASHIONED RAISIN PIE

2 c. Sun Maid raisins

2 c. water

1/2 c. packed brown sugar

2 tbsp. cornstarch

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. vinegar

1 tbsp. butter

Pastry for double crust

Combine raisins and water; boil 5 minutes. Blend sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Add to raisin and cook, stirring until clear. Remove from heat. Stir in vinegar and butter; cool slightly. Turn into pastry lined pan. Cover with top crust. Bake at 420 degrees for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. I took this off of the Net. I have heard stories where people will share recipes but leave an item or two out so it is never quite the same as theirs!! Eric

Tim my wife is the same, raised in the suburbs of Winnipeg used to be known as "little Chicago" in the 30s and 40 s, but we were living in the country now. I was also raised in the city, but my folks were country folk, so I's be taught at some of these things at a young age.

Nuttin like Sasktoon Pie, might be called Juneberries or Huckleberrys in the south, not sure though.

My mother was baking raisin pie on November 21st 1961, later that night a future member of P15 D24 entered the world.
