Directions: |
Directions:Wash and boil 1 package of raisins with enough water to cover. Boil with ½ cup sugar until they swell up, then thicken with cornstarch. Add juice of lemon. Let cook before putting into pastry.
Grease 10 X 15" pan - pour ¾ of pastry into pan. The dough is rather thick so the bottom dough has to be patted in with fingers. Spread raisin mixture on top of dough. Spoon remainder of dough on top. Paint with a little milk and sprinkle a little sugar on top.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 350º to be sure bottom crust is cooked. |

Notes: Grammy Wheeler always made different types of squares. Pineapple, blueberry, raisin and strawberry. She would make the squares and then put the pan on the shelf in her pantry down by the Revere Pans hanging on the wall. If too many fingers snitched the squares, she would move them to the top of the refridgerator next to where Grandad kept his teeth in a jar. She used to call him to the supper table with "Put your teeth in". A phrase still used in our family to announce supper.
