Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raisins
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and let simmer for 5 minutes to plump the raisins.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the simmering raisins and stir constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the filling thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lemon juice and unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool slightly before spooning it into your prepared pie crust.
Bake the pie according to your pie crust’s instructions, typically at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to ensure the filling sets properly.
