Rum Raisin Pie

I had a craving for some pie today.

You like raisins, right? Some different ways to enjoy them are Glosettes, trail mix, cookies, or just out of hand.I've heard that there are some people who don't like raisins, and that's too bad.Raisins are grapes, and who doesn't like grapes?As a child, a popular snack for children was a small box of raisins. Perhaps it wasn't too good for our teeth (as we didn't usually brush them after eating raisins) but it was a natural snack packed with energy and nutrients for our bodies.When I was an adult I discovered the joys of Rum & Raisin ice cream. But that's another dessert for another day.Today was pie day, and the pie was going to be raisin. Thus, the pie I made today, one that my mother made from time to time is a simple raisin pie with the addition of some rum.My pie adventure went from opening my recipe book to finished pie in about one hour.After dinner (spinach curry) we enjoyed a slice of pie with some vanilla ice cream. Each mouthful contained raisins that had swelled with liquid (including some of that rum) that popped in your mouth while eating the pie.Thankfully there is some pie leftover which I will be able to snack on tomorrow as well. Happy pie day indeed.
