Soak raisins in water until plump.( I usually soak overnight.)Make pie
crust (given below) Chill. Mix eggs and sugar, add flour, salt raisins,
lemon juice, and water. Place in top of double boiler and cook gently 15

grated lemon rind and stir. Cool. Line pie tins with pastry and fill
shells with mixture.. Crisscross strips of pastry on top. Bake 375
degrees for about 40 minutes. Makes 2 8" pies.
