Sour Cream Raisin Pie

Pastry for single crust pie
3/4 cup raisins (can include dried cranberries and/or cherries)
1 1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
eggs
Nutmeg

Soak raisins in warm water 10 to 15 minutes.  Drain and chop well.  Line pan with pastry and flute edges.  Put raisins in crust.  Mix remaining ingredients except nutmeg.  Pour over raisins.  Sprinkle with nutmeg.  Bake on bottom shelf of oven at 350 degrees about 30 minutes until custard is firm.

My Grandmother Martin made this pie for "Pie Day," a monthly event in Sutton, North Dakota, when I was a little girl.  The ladies would bring pies and fix sloppy joes in a small brick building that had been a bank when the town was larger.  People from town and the surrounding countryside would stop by to eat lunch.  A sloppy joe, a piece of pie, and a cup of coffee cost less than a dollar. This was one of my favorite pies.
