Bro. Sleep, I'm curious about this raisin creme pie. When I was a kid, my mother used to make a pecan creme pie that was out of this world. Never got the receipe. Lost forever.   Pie is comfort food no matter what flavor.

[Leo Tanner]

Tex, I used ta call Mom fer recepeis every now an an then.  Ta this day when I think of somethin she used ta make I find maself reachin fer the phone.  Then like you said, I realize it's lost ferever.
     I do have one written down fer a pie that is kind of like a pecan pie/cheese cake that's good.  If that's what yer thinkin of I'll send it to ya.

     Them meat pies is sure good too.

My dad used to make chess pies, sort of a super sweet pecan pie with attitude.  I only make them at Christmas time because they'll put you into sugar shock if you're even in the room with one for more than a couple of minutes.

His recipe is in the cookbook that Mo Lasses put together.

This pie was like a regular creme pie and had pecan bits in the filling like banana slices in a banana creme pie.

Any of that sounds GOOD!

We've got a lost one in this family, too. Pumpkin chiffon pie, Sue's Mom used to make'em. It's a no-bake type. Filling was cooked on the stove first, went into a graham cracker crust. We thought that our oldest boy's wife had Mom's receipe, turns out she don't. Mom took it with her

I bet that there's a lot of folks wishin' that they had written down these old receipes.

Now come the BIG GUNS...

PECAN PIE

That an a cup a black coffee will set ya off right.

That'd set ME off fer sure!!      But I gots ways to deal with it. 

My Bride made a pie one time for me to take to a holiday lunch at work; it was some combination of apples, raisins, some sort of dried berries , and walnuts or pecans, with a real woven lattice top.  I put it on the table, and it was gone before anyone got to the deserts.  Everybody wanted to know how she made it; I asked her, and she just smiled and said something to the effect of "oh, I just threw some stuff together".  To this day she will not own up to knowing what it was, or how she made it.

Have I ever told y'all??  I LOVE pie!

[Texas Lawdog]

Everybody has got their favorite kind of pie. Fruit pies, creme pies, and cobblers. I  like most any flavor.

Pecan has got to be my all time favorite,  I have an Aunt that makes the best I've ever tasted, been eating em for over 50 years,  she sends me about 4 of em during the year with my cousin, when he comes to visit.  she knows how I like em.

Late Momma-in-Law was a down home Carolina trained cook. She’d make what she called ‘Chest’ pie. So did her kin when I’d go ta their family functions back home. I’d eat it ta be polite. Sometimes they were tart, others, sicky sweet. Don’t think it was the ‘chees’ thing 40 mentioned.

Went on fer a long time ‘fore I asked. ‘Chest’ pie was ‘just’ pie in the Carolina vernacular. They made ‘em up with anything they had in the refrigerator ‘n/or fruit bowls they wanted ta get rid of.

Arcey, that was a typo.  It's CHESS pie, no T.  Made with brown sugar, butter, white sugar, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, white sugar, pecans, brown sugar, flour, brown sugar.....you get the idea!  If it's done right it's the best nut pie in the world, but it can be undercooked and end up runny - delicious, but spoon-dipping runny - or overbaked and then it borders on paving material - delicious, but rock hard.

[Leo Tanner]

aint that shoo fly pie?  or is that all the sugar eithout the nuts?

Ol' Buttermilk PIE!
