Do you have a vintage recipe to link up? I encourage you to link your family's favorite recipes or ones from an old cookbook or recipe postcard.

This week I'm sharing a raising pie recipe. It's a good one for Fall and will be a tasty addition to your Thanksgiving dessert table. The Raisin Pie pictured at right is a hybrid Paphiopedilum orchid. Enjoy.

  2. Yes that sounds great. My mom use to make it for us. The recipe sounds just about the way she did it. Now I want some pie.

  3. Susan and Russ: I see I'm bringing back pleasant memories for both of you with this raisin pie. :-) There's no good reason why raisin pies have fallen out of fashion. They are so tasty. Thank you for sharing your own vintage recipes with me.
