My Mom made delicious pies of all kinds! Because she baked pies so often, she didn't always have fresh or canned fruit with which to make them. On those days she made raisin pie, which we all loved.
After I was married, I was so happy one day to find raisin pie at my town's local coffee shop. But after I took one bite, I knew that it wasn't like Mom's.
After that, my sister made raisin pie occasionally, and brought me a piece. It is fun to revisit home with a taste from the past!

How to Make Mom's Raisin Pie
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Boil raisins in 1 3/4 cup water for 5 minutes.
- Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Add remaining 1/4 cup water and stir. Add this mixture to the raisins, stirring until mixture boils.
- Remove from heat and add butter and vinegar.
- Prepare crust for a 2 crust pie. Place 1 pie round into a pie plate and pour raisin mixture into it. Cut decorative steam holes in the top crust and put over pie. Trim as necessary, pinch edges together, crimping the edge.
- Bake 25 minutes until juice bubbles through the top crust.
Remove pie to a wire rack to cool.
