Sour Cream Raisin Pie

Often people who have never tasted Sour Cream Raisin Pie think that it sounds completely inedible.  Once you've tasted a piece, though, there is a good chance it may just become one of your favorites, like it is in my family. 


RECIPE

1 cup raisins
2 egg yolks
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cloves
Baked pie shell

DIRECTIONS

Boil raisins in water for 5 minutes.  Cool.  Beat egg yolks and mix with sour cream, sugar, spices, and cornstarch.  Stir into raisin mixture and cook until thickened (use microwave).  Pour in baked shell and cover with meringue made from the 2 egg whites and 4 tbsp. sugar.  Bake in moderate oven until meringue is brown- about 15 minutes.
