Ingredients

For the pie

• ▢1 ½ cups sugar
• ▢16 oz sour cream
• ▢3 tbsp flour
• ▢¾ cup raisins
• ▢¼ cup golden raisins
• ▢¼ cup dark rum
• ▢3 egg yolks

For the meringue topping

• ▢3 egg whites
• ▢¼ tsp cream of tartar
• ▢¾ cup sugar

Instructions 

For the pie

• In a heavy-bottomed pan, mix together sugar, sour cream, flour, raisins, and rum. Place over medium heat and mix continually for 6-10 minutes until thickened.
• Off heat, add three beaten egg yolks slowly to hot mixture, stirring briskly so they do not cook. Place back on the heat and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the consistency of a thick pudding.
• Once at the desired consistency, let cool for 10-20 minutes. Then pour into a baked and cooled pie shell (see my best pie crust recipe). Let cool in the refrigerator before adding the meringue topping.

For the meringue topping

• Using a stand or handheld electric mixer, mix egg whites until they are broken up and foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue mixing until soft peaks form.
• With the mixer running, slowly add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until firm peaks form (peaks that stand on their own).
• Spoon meringue over chilled pie, creating peaks and valleys (all for a beautiful presentation!) and place in a preheated 350°F to 400°F oven (depending on how close you watch it) for 5-15 minutes.
• Serve immediately or keep in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
