I am only rating this a 4 star as I thought it was to sweet. I did like the flavor and I will make again, but I will cut the sugar down to maybe a half cup and go from there. I also didn't have lemon juice and I forgot the butter. This may have had something to do the the sweetness, but I don't think so. As I forget these items in my apples pies as well and the turn out just fine. Thank again. I love raisin pie. This is the closest I have gotten to the flavor I have been looking for. -
I just tried this recipe and loved it. I found it very sweet but the flavor was exactly what I was looking for. I followed the recipe and baking time almost exactly as indicated and found them good. -
Sweet and good! Instead of putting a top crust on this, I baked at 425* for 10 minutes, then added a meringue topping and baked an additional 20 minutes at 350*. It turned it out very nice.

Cut the amount of Sugar by Half for this recipe and it will be much better. I found it to be way to sweet as is. I was so looking forward too using raisins to make my own filling for Thanksgiving; alas my parents tried the first slice and said, "Whoa! That is too sweet." I wish I read the comments in the Recipe Reviews before I started to mix the ingredients . Fine tune it to maybe half the sugar, holy.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
