Forget the 'Tipsy' 'cause I didn't make the pie that way, & it STILL came out great! I did use golden raisins, since I didn't want the stronger taste of the dark ones to overwhelm the pecans! I also didn't make the spiked topping, but rather topped it off with some frogen yogurt, & it all turned out to be a VERY NICE dessert! Thanks for sharing!

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
