Ingredients
- 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 5 minutes until the raisins are plump.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Gradually stir this mixture into the raisin mixture, and cook until the sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
- Remove the mixture from heat and let cool slightly. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Slowly pour the raisin mixture into the sour cream mixture, stirring continuously to ensure the eggs don’t cook. Once combined, pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
