Yellow raisins and pecans. This makes a very tasty hand pie. My mother used to make this when I was a kid. Eggs were 15 cents per dozen, butter 15 cents per pound. She considered this expensive, and only made this for special occasions--church socials etc. My mother never cut this pie smaller than quarters. Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar |
1 cup butter |
4 eggs, separated |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1 cup golden raisins |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie |
Directions:
1. Cream together butter and sugar. Mix in egg yolks, and then the spices. Fold in the fruit and nuts.
2. In another bowl, beat egg whites until firm. Fold into fruit and nut mixture. Divide into two pie shells.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.
