I like raisin pie but often find them a little too sweet. So if you feel the same then this is the pie for you. I like the creamy and tart flavor that sour cream adds to this pie.
- 2 cups raisins
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pastry for 8" pie, double crust, unbaked
- Combine raisins, water, and sour cream in saucepan, bring to boil and cook for 4 minutes until raisins are plump.
- Whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon. Stir this into the raisin mixture, continue to cook and keep stirring until thick.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Cool slightly.
- Pour into an 8" unbaked pie shell. Cover with top crust and cut slits to vent.
- Bake in a 425ยบ oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden in color.
- Cool, serve with vanilla ice cream. Delicious.
Betty, you know I will have to try this recipe! Jack thanks you for posting it!
ReplyDeleteToo sweet is exactly why I'm not so fond of raisin pie - this sounds like a great alternative recipe and I tend to love anything with sour cream too - perfect!
ReplyDeleteMost of my family love butter tarts, date slice, fruit pies but no one except me likes raisin pie. I'll have to make it as a treat for me and see how well the rest freezes. Thank you for posting.
ReplyDeleteThis pie freezes well.
DeleteThis looks just yummy and will give it a try! I have searched your site for a blackberry cobbler rec. My Grandmother always made the best but I was a tomboy and only like eating it not knowing how to make it. Would love to see one from you'al. MJ Hunt
ReplyDeleteOh I adore raisin pie and this version cutting some of the sweetness sounds wonderful!
