My grandmother made an awesome Sour Cream Raisin Pie, but I did not get her recipe. Does anyone have a recipe they would share?

I forgot to say that I just use thick whipping cream (fresh) not the kind of sour cream that you use on Mexican food.

I also have a very simple recipe for sour cream raisin pie.
1 cup sugar
1 cup thick cream
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup raisins
1 t vanilla
Mix well.
Pour into an unbaked pie shell and bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until a knife placed in center comes out clean.
This has been a family favorite for about 50 years and it is so simple and fast.

Gail - my grandma always made Sour Cream Raisin pie too. My uncle always asked for that instead of birthday cake when he was little, sadly my grandma is no longer in possession of her pie-baking faculties so I have taken over that pie for tradition's sake. I sent the recipe in for the farmgirl cookbook too - I think her version used more spices than the one that Melody June found, if you would like that recipe too let me know
