Default Sour Cream Raisin Pie

For KarenR

This is all the "info" I have - from my Mom's recipe:

SOUR CREAM RAISIN PIE

For one 9" baked shell.
Top with meringue.

1 c. raisins
1 c. water (a little more if raisins are dry)

1 c sugar
3 T. flour
1.4 t. salt

Mix above three ingredients together

Add:
2 egg yolks
1 c. commercial sour cream
1 t. vanilla
1/2 (or less) ground cloves

Cook raisins in water until plump.l
Mix other ingredients together until smooth.
Add to raisins.
Cook until thick.
Add vanilla and cloves last.


This was from Mom's "cue book" - at the time in her life that these recipes/notes were written down, SHE did not need the how-to - and I don't have the "how-to"

Apparently this was a hit - because this pie would be sold before it got to the table at a church bake sale!
