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!!

You can improve this recipe by adding 2 Tablespoons of cider vinegar, 1 teasp. cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. cloves. The vinegar and spices are what make the pie fragrant and delicious. And it travels well for holiday dinners.

Lovely, old-fashioned goodness! My friend said it was just like he remembered from long ago and loved it. Topped it with lightly browned meringue as suggested as an option. Thanks!

This is more of a pudding type pieand does not seem to set up well although I did follow the recipe exactly.
