OLD FASHION RAISIN PIE

Pastry for a 2-crust pie

2 cups raisins
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp vinegar
2 1/2 cups water
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line a deep dish pie plate with 1 sheet of pastry; set aside.

In a medium saucepan boil the raisins in 2 cups of the water for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt together. Add the remaining water to the brown sugar mixture and mix together well. Add to the raisins in the saucepan and cook until slightly thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vinegar. Pour into the prepared pie plate. Top with the other pastry sheet, cut air vents or poke with a fork. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
