Georgia Waller's Sour
Cream Raisin Pie

1 egg
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 to 2 cups dark raisins (soak in water & check for stems)
1 tablespoon vinegar

Add vinegar to sour cream.
Stir in sugar and beaten egg.
Add the spices and raisins.
Put in a pie shell and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour (until it sets up). (I lattice the top) To brown top, put under broiler a few minutes.

Variation: Of late I've been substituting Egg Beaters for the egg and using lite sour cream. Tastes about the same (not quite as rich) but better for you. "This was my grandmother Wiedemeier's sour cream raisin pie and has become a HOLIDAY MUST in our family!!"
