Someone asked for this

It may have been here, or it may have been over on PhotoFridays (where I blog with pictures), but I know someone asked for my raisin pie recipe.  It is very old, came from the Fresno County Fair raisin pie contest when I was about 16, so I am hoping that it is not copyrighted by anyone.  If it is, I apologize.  I print it here in ignorance.

O-So-Good Pie

Mix together

1 1/2 c sugar

1 tsp cloves

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt  (I don’t do this as I use salted butter)

Add in this order

2 Tb melted butter

3 Tb vinegar (I use wine vinegar; I tried champagne vinegar but it does not have enough oomph)

2 Tb water

1 c raisins

4 eggs (well beaten)

Pour into unbaked pie shell (I use Whole Foods brand).  Bake at 425 for 5 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 30 minutes.  May take a couple of minutes more.
