I obtained this recipe 40-years ago from the cook at the Highway Cafe in Scappoose, Oregon. I have never found its equal. Whenever I serve it, I am always asked for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups raisins
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cups butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 , 9 inch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Soak raisins in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain, and chop.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Stir in the vanilla, sour cream, walnuts and chopped raisins. Pour into the baked pie shell.

  3. 3

    Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm in the center. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
