I grew up with my mother’s chess pie made for every Christmas. I never knew there were so many varieties, and I’ve never seen a recipe like my mother’s that includes raisins and pecans as well as a bit of vinegar, cinnamon and nutmeg. I collect Chess Pie recipes and can’t wait to try this brown sugar one. Even though I’ve enjoyed many different versions ( hello, chocolate-orange chess pie!) all delicious, my mother’s recipe remains my unique favorite!

These look great. I'm definitely going to make the Chess Pie for Thanksgiving. I haven't had any since I lived in Tennessee many years ago.
Happy Pi(e) Day, Dorie!
