For an extra layer of flavor, try soaking the raisins in rum or bourbon before adding them to the filling. If the pie crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield. Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume when making the meringue. For a glossy meringue, add a teaspoon of cream of tartar to the egg whites before beating.
