I tried this once before, I thought it was going to taste horrible because of the name. When I tried it, WOW it was so sweet and SO good. I made it again for Thanksgiving, and it was wonderful. I don't know if it is the same recipe, yet it sure was DAMN good. Although you sure have to brace yourself, its pretty sweet. Yet not sweet enough to have more later!!!

I followed the recipe exactly. We all found it too sweet. I would only use 1 1/2 cups sugar next time. I could taste the vinegar but the others couldn't. It's a very rich pie and a small slice is about all you can eat at one time. Thanks for posting Grandmothers recipe, CeeDee.

I've made this several times and its always a hit with my family. The only change I made was to add more raisins. I have tried other recipes but come back to this one.

This recipe does not look like the picture at all, we followed the directions perfectly and what we got was a caramelized sugar lump. I do not recommend this recipe if you really want to taste a real sour cream raisin pie.

Really really good!!! I kept the 2 cups of sugar, i didn't think that was too sweet at all. I did cur the vinegar to 3 tablespoons though. I don't know if this made any difference or not, but the pie is fantastic !!! Thank you??????
