Ye gods, what a nightmarish dessert.

I got thirsty just looking at the illustration, seriously.

i like raisins, but this just sounds gross.

[laplor.livejournal.com]

Yes!

Raisin pie is actually surprisingly good. A bit like mince, but milder.

My mom's raisin pie was excellent!

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

Mine too! I love raisin pie!

Or anything else with raisins!

Huh. This looks horrifying to me, but my partner would love it. Do you have a version where the recipe is visible?

I'll be making it for him in hand-pie form, so there's no chance I'll have to eat any of it!

I would be interested in trying it, too. Below is the one from the Sun Maid website.I don't think it's exactly the same, though. I think I can almost make out lemon juice and grated lemon peel (I'm guessing they mean zest) in the recipe above, but not brown sugar and cinnamon. But I can't really make it out.

Oh, thank you! I'll let you know how it turns out!

Definitely! :)

I wish I did, but it was really a small picture of the ad. I tried to sharpen up the recipe part but it made it even more unreadable, if that's possible.
Here is a vintage ad with a recipe that seems close! (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5ee1W-Nlmfg/Tmmad070aTI/AAAAAAAAPes/Qw_2iXxLA_0/s1600/raisins.jpg)

Ooooh thanks tons! I'll try that one as well - now I have two to try. I wonder which he'll like.

I like raisins - I may be the only one in my family who does. But raisin pie?

Although, now I'm thinking, "what if it were raisinet (chocolate-covered raisins) pie"

[crossfire.livejournal.com]

I like the way you think.

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

I've never seen a rabbit-shit pie before. Yummers.

Energy food? I guess that's a way of saying that your pancreas will be sorely tested to put out enough insulin to deal with all those raisins.
