We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place raisins in cooking pot adding enough water to cover, cook over medium heat until tender. Drain

  • Step 2: In large pot, mix sugar, egg yolks, flour, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon.

  • Step 3: Add cooked raisins, stir in sour cream. Over med heat cook and simmer stirring constantly until thickens. Cool a little and pour into baked shell

  • Step 4: MERINGUE, I use 3 egg whites for my meringue. Beat egg whites,salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks, gradually beat in sugar, continue to beat until stiff and glossy

  • Step 5: Pile and spread meringue over raisin filling, sealing meringue to edges of crust to prevent weeping.

  • Step 6: Bake in a preheated 350 oven 12 - 15 minutes or until delicately browned. When serving I dip the knife in hot water before each slice, makes slicing through the meringue easy and slices looking great on the plate
