OLD-FASHIONED RAISIN PIE
"My family came to Texas from Virginia after the Civil War," relates Debra Ayers from Cheyenne, Wyoming. "Two brothers helped drive a herd of cattle up the Chisholm Trail to Abilene, Kansas. The boys decided to stay in Kansas and open a meat market. They did well. One brother sent for his girlfriend back in Texas to come and marry him. She did, and she brought this recipe. The family has been making this pie ever since.

GRANDMA MEG'S RAISIN PIE
Whenever I bake this pie, I think of the days of the Depression. Meat was hard to come by then, so Grandma Meg would tell my dad, "If you go hunt for a rabbit or peasant for Sunday dinner, I'll make a raisin pie." We had lot of wild game and raisin pies during those days!

Steps:
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 piece of pie crust into a 12-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it into the edges. Cover with plastic wrap; chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, mix together raisins, water, cornstarch, sugar, vinegar, salt, cinnamon, and butter. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Let boil until very thick, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour raisin mixture into pie shell. On a lightly floured work surface, roll remaining piece of pie crust into a 12-inch round. Using a 1 1/4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 8 decorative heart shapes in a circular pattern, from center of the top crust. Lay over raisin mixture. Trim top and bottom edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang; press lightly to seal, then fold under and press again. Crimp edges as desired.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, milk, and salt. Brush egg mixture over crust and place pie on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Combine the raisins, water, and lemon juice in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat and boil for about 20 minutes, until the raisins are plump. Drain the raisins and return them to the saucepan.
- Combine the corn syrup, flour, and sugar, mix well, then add to the raisins and cook over medium-low heat for about 25 minutes, until thick. Look for a stiff consistency similar to mincemeat, with a thick, caramel-like sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in the nuts. Let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 rolled-out crust. Spread the filling evenly in the crust. Brush the rim of the crust with the egg wash or water, cover with the second rolled-out crust, seal and flute or crimp the edges, and cut a few steam vents in the top. Brush the top with egg wash if you like.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for about 2 hours before slicing.
