Japanese Fruit Pie

The Japanese Fruit Pie has been said to be a Southern alternative to the Pecan Pie.  Whatever it's history it is delicious and one of my favorite holiday pies.  It is a really simple pie too, just mix, pour, and right in the oven it goes.  This is a family recipe we used to make for Thanksgiving.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter (softened)

pinch of salt

2 eggs (beaten)

1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar

1/2 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup chopped pecans 

1/2 cup seedless raisins

1-9" unbaked pie shell (regular depth)

Cream butter and sugar with a stand mixer.  Add the salt.  Add in eggs one at a time.  Add vinegar, coconut,nuts, and raisins.  Just mix until blended then pour into pie shell.

Bake at 325 degrees for 35 -40 minutes. 

My kids like this pie refrigerated when cooled.  It is great with a scoop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Enjoy!
