Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 14

All-purpose flour, for work surface
Pie Crust
2 1/2 heaping cups raisins
2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon milk
Pinch of salt
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

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.

Yield makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe Plain Pie Pastry (page 17) or Vinegar Pie Crust (page 19)
2 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts
1 egg plus 1 tablespoon water (optional), for egg wash

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.
