Instructions

  1. Set oven to 300 degrees.
  2. Butter a baking dish with a lid, large enough to hold the mixture (I use my White Corning ware oval baking dish for this).
  3. Place all the ingredients (except raisins) in a baking dish; mix to combine.
  4. To speed the oven cooking time up, you can bring to a simmer on top of the stove if desired over medium heat.
  5. Cover with a lid and place in the oven to bake for about 2 hours (could take more or less time) stirring a couple of times while cooking.
  6. Add in raisins the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  7. *NOTE* the mixture will thicken even more after cooking.
