Mysterygirl, what a treat to find this recipe! My grandmother also use to make this for us many years ago and I haven't tasted it for a long time. The smell and taste of your pie is like sitting in my grandmother's kitchen again.I made one for my sister as well, and all she could say was MMMMMMMMMMMM! This recipe gets an honoured place in my recipe files.

Oh-My-God this is sooooooo good (and really easy!)!! I just got finished making mine, it's the first time i've ever had raisin pie b4, and let me tell u i was in heaven! I only had about 3/4 c. of sour cream so i used lemon yogurt 2 fill 2 the 1 c., i think it actually came out better this way because there was a little hit of lemon in it. I will be making this again!!

My first taste of Sour Cream Raisin Pie was in a little country style restaurant I used to work at while I was in high school. Marilyn (the owner) would make 4 pies once a year around thanksgiving. I would always be the first to buy two of the pies. ;) I never asked her for the recipe becuase I wasn't much of a cook at the time. Now I wish I would have asked her, but the other day I came accross this recipe and figured I would try it mainly because it was "Grandma's Sour Cream Raisin Pie" and a lot of the other recipes I saw seemed a bit extensive and didn't sound a lot like the pie Marilyn made for her restaurant. So I tried this recipe, and what do you know! It tastes EXACTLY like the pie she made. I just added a little dab of whip cream to the top, and my Boyfriend, who said the pie's name sounded disgusting, thought it was DELICOUS. So 5 STARS go to this recipe. I'm VERY glad I came accross it. :)
