Raisin Cream Pie

Yesterday was Papa Truitt's Birthday and I knew one of his favorite desserts was Raisin Cream Pie. I also was looking for a dessert that was gluten free that Mema Truitt could eat. I searched through all my cookbooks and found one! I made it and it is so yummy!!! I will be making again soon! 

1 c. raisins 

1 c. sugar 

1 c. water 

1/3 tsp. salt 

1 c. cream 

2 egg yolks, beaten 

2 T. cornstarch 

1 tsp. vanilla 

1 T. butter 

9 inch baked pie shell 

Cook raisins with sugar, water and salt until done. Mix egg yolks; add cream, cornstarch into raisins. Cook until thickened. Add vanilla and butter. Pour into pie shell. Top with meringue and brown. I opted for the easy way out and used cool whip!!!
