Crisco's Plantation Pecan Pie

{Household Magazine June 1951}

For our Thanksgiving dinner I did make a "real" dessert other than the frozen pumpkin pie.  Mr. Husband has some hang up with eating things that taste good so the pumpkin pie is just for me.

I made him this interesting raisin and nut pie instead.  The recipe calls for pecans but they are about 100 bucks an ounce so I used walnuts instead.  I also used golden raisins because they are 100 times better tasting that those old brown yesterday's news raisins.

  

 I even made the crust and didn't tweak anything.  The whipped topping is generic cool whip that I put in a piping bag.

The pie was really good, a bit dry for me though.  Mr. Husband loved it and has placed an order for another!
