Sour Cream Raisin Pie

by Elnora Hymas, Rhea's mom

How could I ever make this pie without thinking of my mother? She is the only person I ever knew to make this pie, and we all loved it. - Grandma Rhea

2 slightly beaten eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. cloves
1 c. heavy cream
1 t. vinegar
1 c. raisins

Combine ingredients; pour into 8 inch pastry lined pan. Bake in hot oven (450) 10 min, then in moderate oven (350) about 30 min, or until mixture doesn't adhere to knife.

Note from Sherry: Grandmother Hymas used heavy cream straight from the dairy barn and let it sour a little so the recipe has been adjusted to use whipping cream or heavy cream from the grocery store and a little vinegar. Cultured sour cream does not work.
