SPICY WALNUT RAISIN PIE image

Yield 1 9 inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 eggs
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of cloves (ground)
1 cup of light or dark corn syrup
1/3 cup of butter, melted
1/2 cup of coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup of raisins (soaked in water to plump)

Steps:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare pastry. With whisk, beat remaining ingredients except raisins and walnuts until blended. Stir in walnuts and raisins. Pour into a pastry lined shell. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until filling is set and pastry is nicely browned. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. -I sometimes substitute allspice for the cloves. -Sometimes, I lightly toast the walnuts in a pan. -If time does not permit, I use a tenderflake frozen pie crust and brush it while still frozen with melted butter. -I have found that using my convection oven browns pastry very nicely and evenly, remember to set it about 25 degrees less than normal
