Carolyn�s Japanese Fruit Pie

Recipe Introduction
Carolyn always makes this luscious pie for the ECW bake sale at our Holiday Market. This is similar to a chess pie and very traditional in the south, though I�d never seen it until Carolyn�s. I�ve done some research and no one seems to know why it is called �Japanese�. There is some idea that when it was made in colonial times, people assumed that coconuts came from Japan, but no one really seems to know. I saw both white and apple cider vinegar in the recipes I saw online.
List of Ingredients
1 stick butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 T. vinegar
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. pecans, broken into pieces
1/2 c. coconut
1/2 c. raisins
1 pie shell, blind baked slightly
Recipe
Heat oven to 300F.
Mix the first 7 ingredients well. Pour into pie shell and bake for 10 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 350 and bake an additional 30-35 minutes. The pie should jiggle slightly. Cool completely and refrigerate loosely covered.
