Raisin Pie #1

Submitted By "Sis" Bobby Gay Dodson Maness Story
Ingredients:

1½ cups raisins
2 cups water
1¼ cups granulated sugar
4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, separated
pinch of salt
½ stick (¼ cup) butter, melted
Juice of 1 medium lemon (2 Tbsp)
2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 Tbsp granulated sugar for the meringue
1 baked 9" pie shell

In a 2-qt saucepan combine the raisins, 1½ cups of
the water and 1 cup of the sugar. Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat to medium. In a bowl combine the
remaining ½ cup water, the remaining ½ cup sugar,
the flour, egg yolks and salt. Blend well and stir
into the raisin mixture. Continue stirring until
thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat
and stir in the butter, lemon juice and rind. Chill
about 1 hour until set. In the meantime, prepare the
meringue. Whip the egg whites until they form stiff
peaks. Whip in the sugar. Pour the raisin mixture
into the baked pie shell and cover with the
meringue. Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes until
golden brown.
