RAISIN PIE (FUNERAL PIE)



RAISIN PIE (Funeral Pie) image

My Mother-in-laws recipe, and my Father-in-laws favorite. Often called Funeral pie because it was served at alot of German family funerals. My Mom-in-law never measured when she made pies so I had to watch over her shoulder when she 'measured' and I came up with this. It is a winner!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups raisins, coarsely chopped
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons white sugar

1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked and cooled

Steps:

  • Beat the yolks in a bowl on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Whisk together 1 cup of sugar, the flour and the salt. Slowly add the sugar and flour mixture to the yolks. Beat this mixture until it falls in ribbons from the beater blade. Scald the milk; add it very slowly beating all the time.
  • Pour yolk mixture into a saucepan. Add the butter or margarine to the saucepan. Cook while stirring, over medium heat, until the custard thickens; this will take 3 to 5 minutes. Do not let boil. Remove from heat, and add the vanilla and the raisins. Cover immediately with plastic wrap.
