How to Make Sour Cream Raisin Pie (Recipe)

This is a very rich, old-fashioned pie. I recommend one piece per cold winter day.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 c. raisins
• 1 c. sugar, divided
• 1 c. water
• pinch of salt
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 1 c. sour cream
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• pie crust (unbaked)
• meringue for one pie

1. Simmer the following together for five minutes: raising, 1/2 c sugar, water, and a pinch of salt.

2. Mix the remaining 1/2 c sugar and flour. Add to raisin mixture and cook for five minutes.

3. Beat egg yolks; mix with sour cream. Add to raisin mixture and cook slowly for 5-10 minutes.

4. Remove from heat, add vanilla and allow to cool slightly. Pour into a pie crust, top with meringue, and bake according to meringue instructions until the meringue is browned. Cool completely before eating.
