Raisin Pie

2 cup seedless dark raisins
2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp grated lemon peel (optional)
2 layers of crust for 9" pie

Preheat your oven to 425 F.  Make the pie crusts and put one into
a pie-pan; set aside.  Cook raisins in boiling water until tender
(about 5  minutes).  Mix sugar and flour in a bowl, and stir into
raisins and water.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,
until it boils.  Boil 1 minute and remove from heat.  Stir in
walnuts and lemon juice (grated lemon peel is can be added at this
point if you wish).  Pour into readied pie crust and top with the
other crust.  Cut slits in the top and bake till brown, about 30-40
minutes.
