Raisin Cream Pie

This Raisin Cream Pie was a favorite of my Grandfather Joe’s.  Grandma made it and sugar cookies on a regular basis. 

It must have been good for him because he lived to be almost 100 years old.  He went to be with the Lord shortly before his 100th Birthday.  

I loved my Grandfather and his stickery… mustache very much and this Raisin Cream Pie Recipe is in his honor. I don’t think stickery is a word…but you know I make words up! 🙂

Grandpa had a handle-bar mustache that he waxed heavily and that was his weapon for tickling all us kids on the neck….:)

I am going to eat a piece of Raisin Cream Pie for you Grandpa!  Even though my hips say “Noooooooooooo” 😉

This recipe testing can have quite an affect on one….but oh everything tastes so good! Moderation is the key!

Ingredients
  1. 3 eggs
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  4. 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (I like to grate my own from a whole nutmeg)
  5. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  6. 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  7. 2 tablespoons melted butter
  8. 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts
  9. 3/4-1 cup seedless raisins
  10. 1 double crust pastry
Instructions
  1. Beat eggs until fluffy and thick
  2. Add sugar, spices, salt, lemon juice and butter all at once
  3. Blend well
  4. Fold in nuts and raisins
  5. Pour into a 9 inch pie shell and top with the top crust. You can make lattice top crust if desired
  6. Flute and seal the edges of the crust so juices will stay in. It is ok is some seeps out.
  7. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 - 35 minutes.
  8. Let cool and put in the fridge so the custard can firm up
Notes
  1. Grandpa Joe's favorite pie! He would eat the regular raisin pie, but this one was the one Grandma made for him.
