Best Ever Raisin Pie
This recipe comes from Alice Berlin?s mother. Alice says the original recipe is good,
but it is even better with the addition of pudding noted at the end of the recipe.
Boil together for 5 minutes:
2 cups raisins
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup orange juice.
Mix together:
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 cup water
Add to raisins. Add 1 tbsp. vinegar and 2 tbsp. butter. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Cover and prick top crust. As an alternative, add 1/4 pkg. vanilla or butterscotch pudding mix, omitting cornstarch. Bake at 350F 30-40 minutes, until crust is golden.
