Charles Willeford

 

Hoke Moseley. Willeford is very collectible. His early paperbacks fetch some of the highest prices in the field. Also look for the Fred Ward/Alec Baldwin movie, Miami Blues. Vinegar pie.

Vinegar Pie from Miami Blues by Charles Willeford:

Vinegar Pie:

Pastry for a nine-inch crust

1 cup seedless raisins, all chopped up

1/4 cup soft butter

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/2 teaspoon allspice

4 eggs, large, separated

3 tablespoons 5-percent vinegar

1 pinch of salt

Cream the butter well with sugar. Add spices and blend well. Beat in yolks with a beater till smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped raisins with a wooden spoon. Beat egg whites with a dash of salt until they are soft, then slide onto sugar mixture. Cut and fold lightly but well. Turn into pastry-lined pan. Bake fifteen minutes in pre-heated 425 degree oven. Reduce heat to 300 and bake for twenty minutes longer, or until top is browned and center of filling is jellylike. Cool before cutting.
