OLD FASHIONED RAISIN PIE

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 Cups, water
• 4 Cups, raisins
• 1 Cup, light brown sugar
• 5 Tablespoons, cornstarch
• 1/2 Teaspoon, cinnamon
• 1/2 Teaspoon, salt
• 2 Teaspoons, lemon juice
• 3 Tablespoons, butter [not margarine]
• 1 Teaspoon, vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS:

-Combine raisins and water in a med. pot, bring to a boil and cook for 5minutes. Blend the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt together, slowly stir into the hot raisins.
-Cook and stir until the syrup has thickened [happens pretty quick]. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, butter and vanilla…Cool slightly.
-Pour the raisin filling into one of the pie shells, remove the pie crust from the other shell and place on top, sealing the edges by pinching them together. Use a knife to make a couple of slits in the top of the pie. Bake in a 425°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
