OLD-FASHIONED RAISIN PIE
"My family came to Texas from Virginia after the Civil War," relates Debra Ayers from Cheyenne, Wyoming. "Two brothers helped drive a herd of cattle up the Chisholm Trail to Abilene, Kansas. The boys decided to stay in Kansas and open a meat market. They did well. One brother sent for his girlfriend back in Texas to come and marry him. She did, and she brought this recipe. The family has been making this pie ever since.

OLD FASHIONED APRICOT RAISIN PIE
This is out of an old recipe book created by my great great grandmother's church. The recipe was credited to Bama Curtis. I remember her....she was blind when I knew her and an avid baseball fan. Listened to all the games on a little transistor radio. She passed away at 99.

Tips:
- To make sure your pie crust is flaky, use a combination of butter and shortening, and chill the dough before rolling it out.
- If you don't have time to make your own pie crust, you can use a store-bought one.
- To keep your raisins from sinking to the bottom of the pie, toss them with a little flour before adding them to the filling.
- If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use vinegar instead.
- If you like, you can add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling.
- To make sure your pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
