  • Medium saucepan
  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raisins
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/3 cup water
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
  • pie crusts dough for two (bottom and top crusts)
  • 1 egg white beaten
  • 1-2 teaspoons granulated sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, cornstarch and stir to well to dissolve the cornstarch. Add orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice and raisins.
  • Stir ingredients together over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble and thickens. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in walnuts. Set mixture aside to cool.
  • Add pie crust to a 9'' pie plate. Pour cooled filling inside. Cover with second pie crust. Seal the edges and flute or crimp if desired.
