Grandma Meg's Raisin Pie

SUBMITTED BY: Pat Sisk

"Whenever I bake this pie, I think of the days of the Depression. Meat was hard to come by then, so Grandma Meg would tell my dad, 'If you go hunt for a rabbit or peasant for Sunday dinner, I'll make a raisin pie.' We had lot of wild game and raisin pies during those days!"
