PIES FOR THANKSGIVING

Most Thanksgivngs our family has at least a half a pie per person.  Pie was my dad's favorite dessert ever. We all bring a dish to share and in addition one or two pies each. It is a bit pie crazy and we love to have pie for breakfast the next morning after Thanksgiving. My mouth is watering just thinking about my favorite pie;

This photo is from Google.  It is so like the pies we have on turkey day.

 I am sharing the family recipe with you today.

My Grandmother's Sour Cream Raisin pie

My pie is a family tradition and so easy.

My grandmother's recipe

1 cup raisins

1 cup sour cream

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 pinch of salt

double crust

350 degrees 40 - 45 minutes.

The crust will be 'barely' browned. DO NOT OVERBAKE

My friend Beverly at, How Sweet the Sound, would give almost anything to have a piece of this pie.

TRADITIONAL FAMILY HOLIDAY FRUIT SALAD

Our family has the most delicious tradition.  It goes back generations.  'There is not a recipe per say.'  This salad is served on Thanksgiving.  The women in my family know how to make this salad because every one of them helped their moms make it every holiday.  As I prepared this fruit salad my daughter said, "Mom, I remember all the times you made me cut up the fruit for this salad."

NOW FOR THE TRADITIONAL SALAD RECIPE

(to the best of my ability)

 This is my photo from last years Thanksgiving dinner.

 

Quantities of the ingredients are all according to how much you want in the salad.

canned pineapple pieces

seedless grapes, cut in half

walnuts, cut up but not small

dates, pieces

marshmallows, baby kind ( about two cups)

bananas, sliced (at least two)

Apples, cut up with skins on ( as many as you like or as few as two)

The dressing is home made whipped cream (1 pint)

hint...the fruit is at least a cup and the walnuts and dates at least 1/2 cup

This salad always ends up bigger than planned...Smiling

GOOD LUCK AND PREPARE TO BE IN FRUIT SALAD LOVE.

Happy Pink Saturday

BLESSINGS AND LOVE

JEANNE

I've made raisin pies before Jeanne but never with the sour cream! I think we'll give this a try, thanks for the family recipe:@)

I love pie, Jeanne. Your Thanksgiving Pie-fest sounds AWESOME!!! My mom used to make raisin cream pie, too, and i always devoured it! I also love coconut cream pie and apple and peach pies. Then, there's that wonderful fruit salad you shared! Wow. . .I will definitely be trying that recipe! I think our whole family would enjoy that!

I hope you've been resting up since your time in FLA!!! I'm exhausted. Bonnie and I were gone all day. . .and I am feeling it now! We sure had fun. It was a great holiday sale (boutique). Saw several vendors we've come to know recently. . .even signed up to be on the list of vendors for next year! We made a few purchases and had lunch there, too. Then we hit a HUGE antique mall, too! We had so much fun taking our time. . .shopping. We each found a few treasures! It was a long drive home, too, but so worth the trip. We both needed to get out and about to try to get the crappy election thoughts out of our head.

Have a great weekend and a wonderful PS!! Love you! Dana

Well, sister friend, I am not fond of raisins but bet this pie would be awesome, too, with dried cranberries.

The salad looks great...we also have our traditional fruit salad....boy, I am getting hungry for Thanksgiving fare. :)
Happy Pinks...

One of the things I love most about Thanksgiving is that everyone I know has a traditional dish or two, going back generations. Your pie and salad sound good Jeanne.

This looks delicious! Can't wait to try it!

[Beverly]

Oh, how right you are. I want a slice of sour cream raisin pie - right now - or any time. I am not a "sweet freak", but this pie gets me. Yum!!!!!!!!

And, I've been making your fruit salad for years. I've made it many times to take to events, and it is always a big hit.

Happy Pink Saturday, my special friend.♥

LOL....boy! I picked a heck of a time to go on a fat free diet. So many great recipes I am seeing today. Was just over at Dana's and she showed gorgeous desserts. :) I loved this post Jeanne. Can I come for Thanksgiving dinner? HPS xoxo

I'm not going to be able to sleep now after seeing that picture of the raisin pie. It looks so good! I'd definitely eat a bowl of that fruit salad, too. Oh my. My stomach is growling! :O)

Jeanne, thank you for sharing your family recipes. We serve pies for Thanksgiving......usually at least two kinds, but often more. Pumpkin and pecan for certain. Wouldn't be Thanksgiving without those pies!
