For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of light cream. If you don't have cider vinegar, white vinegar or lemon juice can be substituted. To prevent the meringue from weeping, make sure the filling is cool before topping it with meringue, and ensure the egg whites are beaten to stiff, glossy peaks. For a deeper flavor, consider soaking the raisins in rum or brandy overnight before using.
