I was very surprised when I saw the ingredients in this version of “Chess Pie”. I have several recipes for chess pie and this is the first one I’ve seen with raisins, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and nuts. The ones I have made consist mostly of butter, sugar, cornmeal, and eggs. It’s my husbands favorite pie in the world. He laughed when I told him about this new chess pie recipe I found and said, “Don’t expect me to eat that.” I may try it later, but for now I’ll just stick with the old standby that’s worked for years.

Anne, I didn’t mean to offend you with my Grandmother’s version of Chess Pie. I never understood her fascination with raisins, I would like to pick them out of pretty much anything I eat.
Since my Grandmother passed away almost 10 years ago, I can’t ask her about why this Chess pie has all of these extra ingredients. I am sure someone out there would appreciate this particular version.

I loved the pie, especially the amount of spices in it. I didn’t think it would thicken up very well, but it did. It’s a keeper for me and hubby.
