For an extra layer of flavor, consider soaking the raisins in rum or brandy for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the filling. If you prefer a smoother filling, you can use golden raisins instead of regular raisins. To prevent the crust from getting soggy, brush the bottom of the baked pie crust with a thin layer of melted white chocolate or egg white before adding the filling. For a more pronounced lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling along with the lemon juice.
