Recipe for Raisin Pie
One teacupful of raisins (seeded and chopped), one cup of sugar, the juice of one good-sized lemon, one cup of boiling water; set this on stove; let come to a boil; then add four heaping teaspoonfuls of flour, wet in a little cold water; after it boils again, put in a small piece of butter and a little grated nutmeg; let cool before making into pies. This makes one very large pie. By doubling the amount, you can make three good-sized pies. The filling will keep for some time.
