Willard Sour Cream Raisin Pie

Alli's good friend Karen Willard baked up this scrumptious pie this week on "13 News at 4" Try it out for the holidays!

Ingredients

9” baked pie shell
1 Tbs. plus 1 ½ tsp. cornstarch
1 cup plus 2 Tbs. sugar
¼ tsp. salt
½ - ¾ tsp. ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups dairy sour cream
3 egg yolks
1 ½ cups raisins
1 Tbs. lemon juice

For the Brown Sugar Meringue:
3 egg whites
¼ tsp. cream of tartar
6 Tbs. packed brown sugar
½ tsp. vanilla extract
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy; beat in sugar, 1 Tbs. at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not underbeat! Beat in vanilla and spread over pie filling. Bake as directed above.

Directions

Mix cornstarch, sugar, salt and nutmeg in a 2 quart saucepan. Stir in sour cream; add egg yolks, raisins and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil 1 minute; pour into pie shell and let filling cool slightly. Spoon meringue over pie filling, spreading to edge of crust to seal; bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully, just until meringue is nicely browned. Cool away from draft.
