Never had raisin pie ... gonna try that one this week with white raisins and pecans on top.
LOL, you got me on that one.......my raisin pie recipe......I expected to go back and find one of the mincemeat recipes and thought at once of Mrs. Flanagan’s “sour Cream Raisin” pie, almost a chiffon pie, at Flanagan’s drive in, in Portland Oregon....
You would like my recipe for ‘stuffed dates’.
A package of dates, a package of walnuts, a plate of fudge, in a pinch good chocolate chips will do........a good book and a fresh pot of coffee.
Adjust the taste as needed........LOL
Never understood the need to do all the work to stuff them, so I developed the “a hand full of” method and stuff me instead.
It would work with the raisins also and sometimes, I even add the package of coconut......
And no dishes to wash.
White raisins will work well.
But take the common brown raisin, the next time you get stuck with baby sitting, pour 7 up in a clear glass and drop in half a dozen raisins......I think Dr. Bill Wattenberg calls it ‘physics’ the way they dance around, he always has the kids do the experiment.
I know he tells of one of the breakthroughs in science, having come from a 20 year old science student watching the bubbles in a glass of beer, on a bored night in a German beer hall.
Sorry science, is a class that we did not have in school, so the fine points get lost with me.
Enjoy your raisin pie.
