Vera, Hi.
Try Bud's recipe with
same amount of white vinegar.
I remember as a little kid being
so surprised when my Mother put
vinegar in a raisin pie. Even said some-
thing about it to her. She explained that
you needed to be very careful about the
amount but that it helped the raisin plump
up when it was cooked and if you forgot to
put it in, the pie would turn out toooooo
sweet.

There may be a more technical explanation
at cooks illustrated or somewhere on the net
like that but I believe that white vinegar was
substituted often for lemon in the Ozarks, because
you didn't always have lemons and sometimes even
the groceries in town didn't have any, especially if
it was off season.

Isn't that rain marvelous?
We've got it again here in LR this morning.
Sounds heavenly!
Beth
