I've never had this concoction, but it does sound yummy.

Japanese Fruit Pie Recipe
1/2 cup margarine, melted
2 whole eggs, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup raisins, seedless
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup coconut, flaked
1 whole 9 inch pie shell

Stir ingredients together in order given.
Pour into formed 9" pie shell.
Bake at 325 for 40 minutes.


This pie is utterly scrumptious! It's basically a chess pie chockful of good things, very rich and toothsome. A lot like a pecan pie. This same recipe has been in my family for years, and we make this pie every holiday. I grew up in the South, where this pie is an old classic and is called "Japanese" simply because in the old days the coconut was considered rather exotic (in the same vein as what Southerners called "Japanese fruitcakes," which contained tropical fruits). If you haven't tried this pie, please do! I bet you'll find a new family favorite!
