RAISIN PIE

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.
