Preparation

Step 1

Filling: Barely cover raisins with boiling water; let stand 1 hour. Drain well.

Combine sugar, salt, cornstarch, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Add sour cream, buttermilk, egg yolks and lemon juice. Add drained raisins. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to pudding-like consistency, about 5 minutes.

Chill until firm, about 45 minutes. When cool, spread filling into pie shell.

Meringue: Beat egg whites, vanilla and salt until light and foamy; add cream of tartar and beat to soft peaks; add sugar gradually and beat to stiff peaks.

Spread meringue on top of pie and bake at 425 degrees to brown meringue, about 5 minutes.
