Ingredients

  • 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)

Method

  • 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
