Let's Eat Pie

Almost as popular as traditional Pecan Pie, this delicious Japanese Fruit Pie graces many dinner tables here in the South.
The combination of pecans, raisins, and coconut suspended in a chess-pie type of filling is wonderfully rich and toothsome.

 
Japanese Fruit Pie
 
Ingredients
1 deep dish 9 inch unbaked pie shell

Beat until smooth. Stir in pecans, coconut, and raisins.

Do you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut? Thanks.
