This sounds crazy good.

I would like to get that cookbook it originally came from. I will have to see if any available. Be great to find out if General Forrest ate this pie.

For National Raisin Day, April 30th wanted to bring this recipe up again.

Sounds incredible! Probably healthy, too! (Or am I simply rationalizing?)

It is rich but so good.

Interesting that, unlike pecan pie, there's no butter or eggs in it. It's fat-free! Will have to try it.

Forrest did love his mom's molasses pie and I'd bet he'd eat this one, too...if his wife wasn't looking!
