Default Re: Bars & Squares

I can't remember where I got this recipe. Sorry it didn't turn out for you. In my grandmother's raisin pie recipe, it calls for 2 cups of raisins for 1 cup of water... maybe the bar recipes doesn't have enough raisins?? I'm not sure what went wrong. If I do find the source of this recipe, I'll let you know.

Here's the ingredient list for my grandmother's raisin pie. Maybe you can compare and come up with a solution to what went wrong.

1 cup boiling water
2 cups seedless raisins
¾ cup brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
4 Tbsp flour
Cold water
¼ tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla

Add raisins to the boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes. Add brown sugar and cinnamon (my grandmother likes to simmer the raisins with the water, brown sugar and cinnamon). Mix flour into a soft paste with cold water. Pour and stir the flour paste into the boiling raisin mixture; stir and cook until thicken.

Add salt, butter, vinegar, and vanilla.
