Once upon a time my mom and/or dad got this recipe from David Lundgren (I'm not sure who he is), and now the pie has become a holiday tradition. This pie is usually at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
David Lundgren's Raisin Pie
3 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3/4 cups raisins
3/4 cups chopped walnuts
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
3 Tbsp vinegar
Beat eggs. Add sugar and beat again. Add butter, vinegar, and spices, and beat again. Stir in raisins and nuts. Pour into an unbaked 9 inch pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until light brown & crusty on top. Cool before serving. This pie tastes great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side!
I think this pie is too sugary as it is written. I would reduce the sugar to 1 cup to make it not quite so sweet.
