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.
